I must admit, as a newbie to @Steemit, I don't understand why you would ever pay to have an account created for you.
I signed up and got in the same day...
Are the paid for accounts higher in SteemPower or reputation?

I'd also like to know this - I had a similar experience signing up the other day... it wouldn't call it a cake-walk but I was able to apply in a few minutes and was approved a within a few hours. Ok maybe it was a cake-walk
There's got to be something to this...some sort of catch...
Like I said they must set them up and get them running with higher reputation and Steem Power.
Ok so from some searching, reading around comments and checking out the referenced @someguy123's anon method (https://anon.steem.network/), I'm inferring/distilling two things:
1.) Given that you can only have one account for free: If you want multiple accounts you have to pay your own way in, via the creation fee in steem, and set it up directly via a script to the blockchain, bypassing the approval queue (?)*
2.) The wait time for account approval appears to be directly related to traffic/requests (?)* - so in our case, we must have signed up on a slow day... like going to the DMV and not having to wait on line
I don't think rep or power come into play*, The service just does the legwork for you, getting you up and running with no email, no phone number, and no wait, for a small fee
Fellow Steemians, does this sound right?
