No. A driver probably could risk that, but if someone was standing in one of those stops, and you would never know if they were, then they complain, the driver would end up in disciplinary proceedings. As good as the SDC are they can't track every vehicle all the time, they also don't know the full routes of every bus after all. Most drivers know not to risk such things as no matter how remote bus stops are, they've probably picked a passenger up from there at one point, and if they miss it out, that passenger might be there, and complain. It's not worth it.
