I think it's more likely than you credit. I expect that Dyson spheres "in the wild" would exist on a continuum of inefficient to efficient to decayed.
An inefficient sphere might exist under these conditions:
* Still under construction
* Inefficient sphere built previous to efficient spheres
* A civilization is just learning how to build one
* A ruined structure from a dead or regressed civilization
