I think that they're cloned from the dregs is a theory of the clones, but they do seem to know things on some level, so I'm willing to take that as a given. Speculation: the process could be highly unpleasant for the donor, hence a form of societal punishment.

I think the Occam's Razor explanation would be that there was something about the cloning process itself that resulted in more passive entities.
