Well, they don't know what does and doesn't work. How many programs, besides AA, can you name off the top of your head that work for reforming Alcoholics? And AA itself doesn't work for everyone. How about reforming career criminals - is there a system that works for everyone for them as well?

I don't think people are gullible, I think they're resistant to implementing change (long term lifestyle changes, not short term diets), and unwilling to do the extra work.

I an thinking it is more of BOTH Daniel. We don't like change but will accept ANYTHING that gives us the delusion that we don't have to do anything to change?

Just mumble a few words once a week, drink some potion, pop a pill and leave everything up to some authority?
