*** Also, some of those mechanical gimmicks may have been too unsafe to commercialize, and/or in violation of patents held by others. You can't market your mechanical dragon if you built it out of proprietary equipment you filched out of Disneyland's animatronics workshops.

** Also, it helps ensure that trap-building will be effective if they have a solid idea as to where the culprit will go, next. That means figuring out what the baddie is after.

Added DiffLines:

** The ''real'' question is, why are those villains who dress up as monsters (as opposed to projecting holograms or directing mechanical fakes) seemingly unaware that '''they''' might get shot at? Plenty of Mystery Inc.'s adventures take place in concealed-carry U.S. states, and sooner or later, you'd think an adult whom the culprit tries to scare off would turn out to be armed and willing to shoot the whatever-it-is that's threatening them.

** It's zig-zagged. In his original season Scrappy's attempt to fight the villains was treated as comedy with the villain easily getting him out of the way. In later adventures Scrappy was shown to be able to throw Winslow Nickelby's cat out of a building and rough up Farquad.

** It's pretty obvious - because they're not total jerks. Honestly, that seems like something that the [[Film/ScoobyDoo live action movie versions of the characters]] would do.
