I disagree. It's not specific but it is one way of being Humble. Pointing out the limits of their contributions. It is much better than keeping the money as a business owner. (Keeping the credit to yourself)

Except they don't say who the author is. If you want to help the author spread their work, saying who it is would help people find their work. Providing a link to the original would be the next step beyond. So it is like keeping the money as a business owner, but saying that it's all thanks to your wonderful employees. Or throwing them a pizza party for the record breaking profits they made that year.

You see this a lot with reposted art. A repost on a Twitter account that does nothing but repost art? 10k likes, no mention of who the original artist is. The original piece on the artist's Twitter account? 127 likes.

I agree that it's bad. .just not that it is worse than nothing.
