Apathy is one angle,

The most of it, I have noticed is "GREED" (an excessive desire to acquire or possess more than one needs or deserves. As stated, this is how most scams present their project. They exaggerate the worth of their tokens/coin with huge percent discount on investment and mouth watering, straight to the bank with six figures reward after investment, making its project look excessively lucrative for potential investors who will likely fall victim only to realise their loss and start crying foul

This is what the game looks like in reality, losses are hardly tracable and barely retrieve due to the rigid nature of wallets creation and security. Yes, most exchange are trying to control this by mandating KYC which is a bit of relieve but still yet, scam projects cannot be totally eliminated.
