This doesn't really have anything to do with the thread, but to answer your question quite a few people do this, and those people aren't necessarily idiots. Remember that lots of products install some variant of SQL Server, like MSDE, for you, so there are quite a few people running SQL Server without necessarily knowing it, or thinking about having to secure it.
