Making comments and posts has no bearing on rewards. So bots who do that aren't any more likely to get reward sats than a user who never looks at SN.
The rewards pool exists to incentivize zapping (it is divided among users who are early to zap posts and comments that others also zap).
While SN has its fair share of bots commenting, I think they are mostly trying to trick people into zapping them. I don't think the rewards pool has much to do with that (it may have other flaws, though).
