Which one, the bit about greed?  If so: it always takes two to
tango... :-)  If people are willing to pay for something, being as
stupid as it may be, why not make money from it?  There are a lot more
harmful ways to spend money on superfluous things than training - at
least if they don't involve a 1000+ miles air travel.

Kind regards

PS: My personal view of certificates: rather cold blooded.  If I
interview someone, I take them into the mix but I certainly do rely
more on what answers I get to technical questions about the area of
interest.
