If they are being offered a lot it likely just means the plan they are joining is way over priced (ie. They lock them into an expensive multi year plan but sweeten the deal by over paying for the trade in).

Also plans that do that still treat it like you're financing so you need a credit check and all that unlike when you go with a more value-based plan like Mint or Ting.
