It's an incentive misalignment. Third party recruiter optimize for their contingency fee. The goal of their emails is to peak your interest enough to get you on the phone, so they can pitch you one or many of the companies they are working with.

I'm actually in the very early stages of a product to better align incentives and promote transparency between candidate and recruiters.
