Someone proved that the Biden picture for the Afghanistan crisis was taken in fact many months ago :

And the Biden Press Secretary Jen Psaki takes a week off ?:

And if you add the fact that the Taliban just had to do a walk in the park to collect multi-million dollar war drones, a hundred of Humvee, who knows how meany weapons and ammunition and what not :

What evil plan is going on behind the scenes ?
dozens of apache helicopters have been pilfered.
The Taliban don't know how to fly them, let alone maintain them. They will be sold on the black market I suspect. Also, another reason why we now have to spend $X billion on a new, improved attack helicopter. Yay, Military-Industrial Complex.
no orders to blow them up?
an extreme vast quantity of guns also abandoned.
sleep joe leaving afghanistan armed? why?
Because when regimes fall that fast, people are focusing on other things than blowing up parked helos, is my guess. This happened at the end of WWII in Germany (who were to busy destroying records), at the fall of Vietnam, to the Philippines when the Japs ran the Brits/Americans at the start of WWII. War is pretty chaotic.
One thought, though, is this will be justification (by default I suspect) for billions to be spent for next generation helos.
The Afghan army defected in large numbers, and the DO know how to fly them.
While your first sentence is correct, I doubt that the Afghan army was flying US Apaches. According to an article my DuckDuckGo search pulled up, they were (at least) flying Mi-35s https://www.theweek.in/news/world/2021/08/13/helicopter-seized-by-taliban-has-been-symbol-of-afghan-conflict-for-decades.html
[edit: didn't think that flying skills are applicable across platforms, duh. Good luck getting parts though.]
