Given a bit of time, people will figure out how Zillow's buying spree works, and figure out how to game it to their own advantage. Perhaps put a fresh coat of paint on an old abandoned house that's about to fall down, list it slightly below neighboring houses, and wait for Zillow's stupid computer to buy it?

Zillow and open door have clauses to basically prevent this.
And they still have local agents that meet you.
