I don't think that deeply about it and suspect you're misinterpreting the goals of their target audience.

I don't use Duolingo to learn a language as effectively as possible. I use it because it's a super easy and an entertaining way to stay motivated while I learn a language. I would never go out of my way to take a class or watch videos to learn the language.

I don't think people are "falling for it". It does exactly what they want it to do for them.

This. Duolingo is not the best learning toolbut it is the difference between something and nothing for me.
