...it could be that he dosn't have the time. It could be that he dosn't know what search engines are worth submiting to other than the top 3 or 4. Many other engines get lots of traffic. Most will eventualy spider sites that are dmoz listed but what if you don't get into dmoz? Over 50% of submissions to dmoz are rejected. Many, simply because the user submited to the wrong catagory. Many because the dmoz editor didn't like the sites content value. I can cut my own lawn, but I pay a kid $15 a week to do it.
I agree that these submission sites that claim to submit to hundreds of thousands of sites are a waste of time and money.
However, some submission services, submit to just over 100 of the major engines for a very reasonable price. They also take care of all the spam that comes from these engines. They produce a detailed report in any format you want that shows the sites they submited to. All for like...say...$9.95
