Maybe but I would imagine that the top players are balanced in terms of when they do it - i.e. they do it with the same balance of stronger and weaker hands they would use when going all in properly.

Also if your own internet connection is rock-solid and other people sometimes disconnect there is a chance they fold or timeout postflop.
Also very occasionally it checks through postflop and the seemingly insignificant number of chips gets a 8:1 flip against maybe only a couple of hands for the antes and we've all seen people recover from those kinds of positions before.
