Not a frequent Kaggle user but from what I’ve seen the ones posted in notebooks are baseline examples. The things anyone who is competitive enough to win has probably thought of and dismissed or could implement themselves in half an hour and iterate from there.

As a current example: the highest-scoring entry that has an associated notebook at the moment is basically a clean example of how to apply XGBoost [1] to this dataset. XGBoost ends up being tried in nearly every Kaggle competition, so the person isn't giving away many secrets there.
