Actually this is almost the only reason!  All this shit about root
privileges and all that, sure but there are exploits around that kind
of thing.  The real reason is simple: why go for a difficult target
when at best you'll infect a few thousand machines.  Instead, go for
the easy, completely unprotected targets and infect hundreds of
thousands.
