They know what they're trying to do, which is to bait people into spending money on their platform so they can have revenue numbers to show developers to get them to release on their platform to get people to want to spend money with them without bait.

Taking the bait but not getting caught in the trap isn't quite pulling one over on them, but it's also not what they were hoping for, so it's not not taking advantage.
