That would be true, except (in theory) the purpose of spamming isn't to put links out on websites, its to put links out on at least tangentially related sites, so that you can game the search algorithms better.
That means it doesn't matter if its no follow or not, you're still getting benefit. You may not be getting a direct benefit to your own site, but at the least you're hurting a "competitor".
