I can see that, but if we would just downvote the spam instead then there would be no need to rise yourself above the bots.
That's true. But it's rather a generalized practice for most comment bots. And in some cases I like their owners, they just get the "standard code" and don't know or can't afford to upgrade it to a custom version.
