Sure there are. But how many of these are just because someone is too
lazy/incompetent to lock down a router? Especially in our favorite Asia
Pacific / Eastern European countries?

Most people don't even know what the term 'honeypot' means. Out of that 1000
or so, maybe 15 would be honeypots. In real life, people are just kind of
simple. You know.. like your neighbor with the "linksys" SSID on his AP and
no crypto turned on... because it just works!
