Why?

Because until recently so few people ran filters that it wasn't worth 
the effort to work around them?

Transfer of information is much slower in the spam sender world
because the information on how to get arround filters is considered
a trade secret.

This is not like hacking where the script kiddies sit out in chat 
rooms boasting about how kewl they are and swapping their knowledge
of the latest crack.

Another reason is that the CDROMs with software used by list kiddies
tend to be pressed once and never updated.
