Easy. 1. Most of these bots are probably zombie infections, using resources paid for by someone else. 2. These bots use CPU, memory, and bandwidth, which is how these providers make their money. The more you use, the more money they make. Wondering why they don't take measures to stop it is like wondering why Exxon hasn't started building Tesla Supercharger stations everywhere.
