Well I guess these were not like submersible sump pumps. So how do they expect to have any better luck with new motors?

Electrical devices don't work when wet.

Electrical devices that are intended to be used near water generally are built to be submersible without ill effect. Check out most pumps built for marine use, for example, or the electrical systems of Jet-Skis, etc.
