Anyone who has been an affiliate in the business for any time has seen this. Sometimes it really is an accident but I think it would be incredibly naive to say that it always has been done by accident rather than calculated design.
I've worked with so many programs that have had errors like this and I've made the errors myself.

I've honestly never met someone that wasn't crazy happy to be told about errors, the proper way to do things, and why it will benefit them if they question it.

Every program has errors, even my clients that I've gone over and now they go over, they still find errors - and they always will. Everyone has errors!

If you tell people about them - they will fix them!
