Why don't bots just fill in the form then trigger a click on the anchor?

Too much overhead to actually fully simulate JS execution when you can still spam 99% of sites using GET/POST

i suppose because the bot is not a browser but a service that gets the page, parse input fields and possible tokens and send request to the page that the form would post to.
