It won't always remain so, but at the moment, the average spambot isn't processing javascript or iframe content to populate spam forms. For now it seems the spammers are content to submit to open/typical HTML forms.
To compare some of the spam levels we get on our site bug.gd:
* We have open email addresses on our site. These are spammed insanely.
* We have a feedback widget (powered by featurelist). This has never been spammed and is getting us great user data.
* We have basic HTML search forms, comment forms, and solution forms. These are spammed 10 or more times a day.
* Our blog comments receive a good bit of spam each week.
All in all, widgets are pretty resistant at the moment. (Please no one here start a company to do this. Of course someone will.)
