Why was Singed disabled almost immediately due to a bug but Graves is still dashing everywhere?

I don't think Riot has even acknowledged Graves yet. I'm aware Singed's poison DOT is gamebreaking, but you'd think Graves's infinite dashes and stackable armor/magic resist would be too? He's been allowed to run rampant for at least a week now with no acknowledgement, disables or fixes either.

The Graves issue requires a scripting exploit. We're perma banning for it as a result given it's way over the line and extremely clear that someone's doing it deliberately. The Singed bug by contrast doesn't involve any file modifications and may not be a deliberate attempt to exploit on the user's part (in some cases it's just unavoidable).

Edit: I think we also had a fix for the Graves issue in last night's patch, though not 100% certain on that (might still be in testing to go out later).

Because Graves' dash isn't a bug. It's an exploit that requires modifying game files.

imagine if they just disabled anything a scripter or hacker abuses ever

Because the Graves exploit requires you to intentionally trigger it and people using it will get banned

The Singed bug is completley out of the players control.

Do you play graves at all? Part of his E reduces the cool down of it on each AA. Also he only gets the stacking armor and MR up to a cap of 4 times so even if he keeps dashing around, it won't stack more than 4 times. That was built into his kit. Nothing about graves has changed since his rework.
