Most of the crappy projects are largely cut/paste copies of existing projects and there's always someone willing to cut/paste for lower rates.

The big thing with actual development in Solidity is that you can't just google for a lot of your issues. Documentation sucks and for any novel project there aren't any answers on stackoverflow. You've got to work out best practices for yourself, sometimes the hard way. It's better than it was, but it's still on you and your personal network to figure most of it out.
