Likely these are either 1 click installs or someone FTP'd them to the shared host and went through the web install.  When we researched this hosting path - most shared hosting providers expect the web root to be the entry point to the application.  Has that changed recently?  If so can you point to shared hosting providers that support a pub or similar such directory as the root hosting directory; would be interested to understand both support and the friction such a path would entail for these hobbyist merchants."}}
