It's both boldness and incompetence - and both are specific to GRU, which is a military service driven by "achieve objective at any cost" principle. Their operations are sloppy because they are sloppy, and are allowed to be sloppy because Kremlin is ready to take much larger reputational risks than any other Western country. At the same time Western public is kind of ready to accept completely different standards from Russia because it's "wild" 🤷
