I agree with you that it's incredibly lazy and won't help the OP one bit come test time, SAT time, future time, etc. But the OP doesn't have an answer, The Flood gives them the answer, and thus they've been helped because they now have the thing they were asking for. Therefore it's a help thread.
Also, teaching someone over the internet on an internet forum filled with people who are just going to blurt out the answer anyway is very hard. Walking someone through the problem step-by-step, having them do parts of it on their own, making sure they get it, and other things any good tutor or teacher would do is next to impossible on The Flood, and most OPs won't take it to PMs to take the time to learn it.
If the OPs wanted to actually learn, they'd use Khan Academy or something similar.

I guess we're at odds on this, cause I look at the immediate help as a hindrance since the Op still won't figure out how to solve the problem on his own.

But they are helping the OP by doing the OP's homework (or part of it) for them. That is help. It is not long-term help, but it is help.
