Why do recruiters send messages via LinkedIn asking if you’d be interested for a lower level position if it’s clear on there that you’re higher level (I.e. asking if you’re interested in a manager role even though you’re SM)? I don’t understand why they think anyone would respond.

Because they don’t care and is easy for them to just shoot out a ton of messages knowing that most won’t respond

It could be that they are really impressed with you and your abilities. They may know that you could be an asset to the company and that something else could be open in the near future but can only offer what is available now. If not interested don't reply.

A senior manager is similar to a senior associate just at the manager level; it’s a big deal to get there, at first, but it’s more important what you do when you’re in the role.

Because they are operating on key words. They actually do not read anyrhing about you. They just throw things against the wall and hope it sticks. They are evidentially are paid on the leads not wheather the lead lands the job. Good old indian labor.
