Why are the bots on chess.com so overated?

I can pretty easy beat bots with the rating of 1100 but my rating is not 1100?

I was playing and beating bots at 1300. I am now playing humans and my rating is 673.

I like the detour analogy I gave earlier. The bot doesn't make detours like the human can. It is only programmed to drive by the rules, and then it makes mistakes along the way (wrong turns). The human doesn't do this. Also, if a human player makes a blunder, the bot is more likely to ignore it if it is at a lower level. A human opponent on the other hand will seize the opportunity. Here is an example. On move 4, black could have taken the queen with the bishop. 

 

Lol hey what are you doing picking on a 250 bot, what did Martin ever do to you?
