For what it's worth, it's been my experience that people that have the freetime to hack other people's work find pleasure in hacking other people's work, regardless of the time and talent it takes. If they had the motivation to write their own programs, they'd have a good programming job. Maybe they do anyway, but as it is, they find a hobby in 'exposing security flaws' in other's programs.
