The issue is the money is double purposed. It is being used to protect against many fake accounts especially ones that are not vested in the platforms growth. Until we have metrics that identify unique people from fake accounts we have to use something like this. You are 100% correct and this is coming.

An alternative might be to explicitly allow the creation of subaccounts and a "botkey" system. This way the bot is tagged at the blockchain level.
The real issue is that what the core development team have created is the ultimate role playing game and the ruleset is just unbalanced. This has potential, it can work really, really well and on the whole it does already.
But rulesets need to account for all the dynamics in the system. This includes trying to figure out why people are spending effort to grief the system. Tweak the rules and restore balance and everything else will sort itself out. Have to be careful about the tweaks though.
