How can this have the alternative name Symbolism? It says quite clearly there in the beginning that it means when something that doesn't otherwise make sense is allowed to remain because of symbolism... so if some symbolism doesn't stretch the willing suspension of disbelief, it's not this. I think we need a real trope for just symbolism.

Agreed. Further justified by the fact that this trope seems to be very widely used to just discuss symbolism within a work, regardless of how believable the symbolic elements are.

Does this have any connection to Grandfather Clause?

I would say that there is definitely a way to connect them, if that's what you're asking.
