The fact that Bypass Paywalls Clean works for so many websites is kinda baffling to me. Are there any reasons why they choose to implement paywalls in front-end only, or is it just technical incompetence?

One that comes to mind is SEO - they want their articles to show up in search engines and social media.

The people who bypass the paywall wouldn't pay anyway. It's just a marketing tactic. This + SEO.
