"If the city charter doesn't allow write-ins then why is this even an issue? Why is there a write-in candidate at all?"

I have no idea, but it was clearly stated that one of the reasons that there should not be any recount of the write-in votes was that the San Diego city charter does not allow write-ins in a general election.

If you ask me this is just another symtom of the madness of the left insisting that "every vote be counted" no matter whether people fill out applications or ballots correctly, vote in the correct location, or even fill out ballots properly.

If write-ins aren't permitted at all then none of them should be counted and that should be the end of that. That is not a ridiculous bubble technicality such as others are attempting to defend. That is a serious irregularity.
