In my opinion, escrow or not, it does not a matter if the site is legit.
Each company has different funds to start their service, and promotions so they are free to choose how they run their promotions (with or without Escrow; manage promotions by themselves or hire managers).
I am fine with it. There is nothing wrong if a small (but legit) start-up run their campaigns by their own accounts and don't use Escrow. It's their company, campaign and fund, why they have to use Escrow?
BUT:
It is not good to see a campaign thread created as a self-moderated one, especially if it comes from lower rank accounts (without management history).
You're right about it, escrow isn't needed if signature campaign is launched by trusted and established website. But it's different case here - website looks shady itself and there are many signs in campaign thread that this campaign isn't legit.
