It could be because answers are given mostly by octogenarians and demented runners from the geriatric hospitals. These people are not employed by Microsoft. Do you not think this could be one of the plausible reasons?

Hackers can do all sorts of things nowadays, so perhaps that is a possibility. Maybe someone else will comment.
