Coming from a purely live cash game side.  Your post is an example of why we need to change up our game from time to time. What you described is, as someone has already said, a way for poor but tight players to lose a lot of their chips.  If someone at the table makes similar raises with AK, AQ, AJ and you can put them on those starting hands with their raise, its not a bad play to call that raise with hands that have lots of possibilities, suited connectors, or a small pair for example.

If I know what cards your playing with, it takes a huge edge away from you.  If there is a low ball flop and I hit a pair, I take the lead and control of the hand.  Even if I don't hit, if i know that you missed the flop I can put tons of pressure on you with a good sized bet.

We have all seen tight players that make continuation bets.  These are my targets with this kind of strategy.  Let them raise, and bet on the flop.  Obviously you can't do it every time, and a lot depends on your read, and the flop, but when the situation is right, its a good strategy.
