The vast majority of the people doing these attacks against vulnerable THs are ones looking to use a couple of troops to take out the TH giving them easy trophies and you an easy shield.

Why make it harder then it has to be? All you're doing is taking the chance that you'll aggravate them causing a potentially successful all out assault or make them actually stop their attack. This either turns what would've been a free shield into a potential loot loss situation or leaves your village vulnerable to someone who will simply flatten it.

Alternately why make it easier than it has to be?

I have maxed defences with 4 teslas encircling my exposed TH. If someone attacks my base, they're not doing me a favour. They're trying to do one of two things, either gets cups or resources. I've farmed 750m gold since we started counting and once it's mine I ensure it stays mine.

I'm not concerned about an all out assault and I'm certainly not concerned if they stop attacking. Given, the situation I am in is not the same as someone with lower defence levels, but it does illustrate that the strategy does have some very successful applications.

I do exactly the same, I pity the fool who has trapped TH's.

Tell that to 2 of the last 3 who tried just that and failed miserably both times. They both fell for the trap hall, then regrouped on the other side and got wiped out there. Believe it or not some people can manage a base with a trap hall and solid defense all other places. (The third was 35 L5 hogs with L20 heroes so I had no chance anyways on that one.)

Farming has nothing to do with Town Halls. It's all about the resources. Basically being a farmer is the same as being a goblin.

I see that you lump all your goodies together.

If a Th8 drops 3 lightenings there, he could walk away with 100k gold and 1k DE.

You, on the other hand, won't get a lot from a Th8.

If it's the Th7 that does the zapping, you are completely out of your luck.

Farmers want cheap shield to protect resources.

The best way to get a cheap shield is to place town halls outside, unprotected.

In reference to the original post. I speak on behalf of offence, not defence.
