There is almost zero doubt that those strategies work, and work extremely well. Every successful PUA I know keeps detailed logs of their interactions (or kept them at one point), and measures the effectiveness of their pitches.
Many guys do it just like telemarketing. They throw out their routines and track how many hang ups (well, walk aways) they get, how many conversions they get (and to what extent), and how each line impacts their numbers relative to the demographic they’re approaching. Other guys will adopt a tactic and use nothing-but-it for a week. You get very good data on it’s strengths and weaknesses. Again, good/bad tactics are discerned quickly and everything is very grounded in reality.
Your talk about ‘immoral’ and ‘acceptable’ tactics generally mirrors something called ‘inner game’ and ‘outer game’ in the PUA community. Inner game is general ‘being more attractive’ advice and is always applied. Outer game is a toolbox of very specific tools that you pull out for a purpose. Because most outer game is very specific, it is incredibly easy to get succes rates, and as a result these strategies have the most thorough numbers on success rates. I assure you, they are very effective.
