Having worked around these types of devices and their interfaces, I doubt they intended to create weak keys.

It is more likely they had a script which placed a parameter in the wrong field, due to something like using positional arguments. Or they misread the documentation for some interface.

Still incompetence. And I would love to see my theory confirmed or refuted.
