I believe the latter post (obfuscating the method of detection) over incompetence.

Don't forget that nation states also produce malware (Recall Stuxnet?) [0] and evading detection is substantially easier when you know exactly what to avoid doing.

Evading detection is easy if you have the slightest clue of what you're doing. Antivirus evasion simply isn't difficult enough for this to be a reasonable explanation.
