ridiculous Bond assassination methods

why to the Bond villains not just shoot Bond instead of relying on outlandish ways of killing him? Beause that would be too easy, and there would be no multi-billion dollar Bond industry, that's why.
So let's create a list of the lamest villain attempts to erase 007:
for me, it would have to be in DAF when Wint and Kidd knock him out and place him gently in a pipe in a construction yard, and none of the workers next day (when he is still out cold, convenient since all he had to do was wake up and walk away) spotted a prone body lying in their pipe, even when it's lifted into their air and placed into the ground. Even then, the ease with which he gets out of the nearest hatch is pathetic really.
Your choices....

They sent a motorbike with sidecar rocket, a car full of hoods and a helicopter gunship after Bond. Why so much? Did they know they were likely to fail so badly? Why not just lay a carpet of spikes in the road or have some guys with machine guns hiding in ambush?

I never understood why Jaws bites through one of the cables on the platform. It does not seem to, in anyway, effect the operation of the cable car later on.
a hugely expensive convoluted setup that took up more than its share of space in the compound, and guaranteed repeated opportunities for our hero to escape
and the whole "minklined prison" in general
had anybody ever stayed there before?
was Dr No waiting his entire career for 007 to one day arrive?
Even in the movie, there are multiple rooms, although we have no evidence that any room other than Bond's is so well-appointed. It's humorous at the end, when Bond asks where Honey is, someone says "number 7" and when bond gets there, "number 7" turns out to be...what exactly? A slowly flooding dungeon? Keep in mind, they're 100 feet below the surface -- the room would fill with water in a no time, wouldn't it?
Ah, nitpicking is so fun...
