While I certainly believe there is some option abuse, insiders still have money and still have special knowledge of their companies. And I dont think the repricing is as flagrant as you make it out to be. And regardless of any options, if they see their shares as a bargain, they will buy them. What you are saying is like a millionaire is walking down the street and sees a $100 bill, your argument is he might hurt his back by bending it over and picking it up. My argument is if the risk/reward is favorable, he is going to pick up that $100 bill. Thus, its my contention that the reason insiders overall are not doing much buying is that collectively, they dont see a very bright future for their shares. At least not without lower prices first.
