I think it's about proof that the number puts them in touch with a real person. I suspect if the robocall gets enough engagement they'll even put an actual scammer on their end.

My other guess is that it's one of those things where it only connects to actual person if you say something. I could try actually talking to see what happens but now that I read on this thread that they record you for replay maybe not.
Absolutely this, I am confident that there are people out there who verify phone numbers from data leaks, selling off known “good” numbers to other nefarious people. They probably record it all now too and sell that.
