I think it is a cultural thing. People don't want to be seen as building a "boring" or simple robot. We've seen a shift towards recognizing that a significant number of teams build robots that do not score points well. Hopefully that trend will continue, and people will realize that the simple robot you were mocking on Thursday is kicking your butt on Saturday.
I don't think I've ever seen a well executed low goal scorer miss elims at the regional level, and in multiple cases I've seen them do quite well. If you showed up to any regional with a 1 point dumper with a working autonomous, 2 rounds in teleop, and a working 10 point hangar you would be a 2nd round steal.
