But most other forms of blatant commercial dishonesty are illegal so why isn't this one?

Answer because other industries have tough aggressive regulators who impose such massive fines that no one ever dares bend the rules.  But Ofcom/OFTEL are reknowned for taking several years to get round to taking any action and then when they do just sending a polite letter of admonishment that the more determined scammers know that they can quite sagfely ignore.
