Perhaps so, but it can easily happen by accident/happenstance. Most
of my PCs are set up to automatically log onto my home or boat network
when they boot up, no specific action required. If my home network
had a SYSID of "linksys", "netgear" or one of the other popular
defaults, they would connect to any unencrypted network they found
with that same ID. People who choose to leave their router set to a
default SYSID for one reason or another will generally not use a
password or encryption either.
