Idk about zero, my Android device has SMS spam filtering, putting them in a separate inbox, hiding the notification, and with big red warnings if I indeed open them.
Can't be blocked by the provider, doesn't require a subscription with a provider, can falsify the sender, can send to everyone in range instead of guessing numbers.
The conspiracy explanation would be that the primary purpose is IMEI/IMSI data collection and/or wireless bug planting, and scamming is secondary purpose and/or deep sampling operation. Though, this is just my hallucination.
There's zero spam filtering interfering this way, and you can target your messages very precisely.
And zero record of it ever happening as far as the carrier's concerned.

Rest assured the state behind this attack does it as well. Why not both?
