I've come to believe that there is a Murphy's law equivalent for tech recruiting. "If you can be abused as a technical candidate, you will be." It's just going to happen eventually that recruiters, either individual recruiters or recruitment firms/companies as a whole, will abuse your rights to just about everything or treat you with disrespect at some point or another. Developers are just commodities for these guys now.

Well, it's just the nature of zero cost (or more properly, fully externalized cost) for false positives. Recruiters in the wild have literally no reason not to be spammy, because it costs them absolutely nothing to be (and because everyone else is being spammy, so everyone assumes they're being spammy). It's a crappy tragedy-of-the-commons equilibrium for everyone involved - they don't much like it either, but don't feel like they have a choice.
