Yup, there is conjecture that some of them are intentionally poorly written in order to filter the low hanging fruit.
As you said, if they are stupid enough to bite then they are highly likely to be exploitable.
It's all about efficiency, if it's a perfectly written and executed ploy then you will likely attract smarter people that will pick up on it after you've wasted time and energy on them.
