I think they get a lot of new people coming in, who see their fics have lots of kudos and don't realize at first that they're all either current or abandoned WIPs.

Then, people keep checking in and getting updates because they're waiting (often fruitlessly) for one or more of the WIPs they read to update. And they end up giving in and reading more of the writer's WIPs out of a futile hope that "maybe the writer will actually finish this one." Or else they get smart and don't read any more of the WIPs, but they notice them being posted, and they notice that every time a new WIP is posted, updates on the last one taper off.

Bottom line: the writer isn't doing anything wrong, and it's up to the readers to decide what they read and don't read. However, just because the writer isn't doing something wrong, doesn't mean it's not annoying and flaky.

I haven't encountered many fic writers who are this extreme about abandoning their WIPs though. Just a couple.
