Sure it does. The reason they do security sweeps is because they don't trust the attendees. Normally they mostly leave it up to the housekeepers. They only do sweeps when big conferences with known "tech nerds" are in town.

That’s not the behavior that’s in question.

One theory is some kind of attempt at getting rid of people as fast as possible, because they sold the rooms for "too cheap"?

That’s the explanation for the behavior not the behavior itself.
