Why are the bots' rating not accurate?

When I was 800 elo some time ago, I beat Nelson and I found out somebody won against Sven-bot (rated 1100) with a Fool's mate. I seriously think Chess.com should reconsider the bots' rating.

I can easily beat an 1500 rated bot a lot easer than a 1500 player

It's really hard to take something that's designed to find the best move and to handicap it in a realistic way to play at specific ratings.

True, but wouldn't it be possible to put Nelson to 1100 elo or something? I'm not suggesting reprogramming the bot.
