However, renting an aircraft to an unqualified pilot would seem
irresponsible.

Yes, but how much checking would you expect or tolerate. Would you
expect the FBO to examine your license, medical, and logbook before
every flight?

Actually, where I rent they check a photocopy of my BFR logbook entry,
medical and license before each flight.

Would you expect them to rent to you for a one week trip
if you would be out of passenger currency halfway through that week?

They don't check for that at all.

In the subject case, the PIC lacked considerably more than 3 TOs and
Ldgs within 90 days.
