I personally don't understand why some people want to have the

unnecessary complications. Acrobat is perfectly capable of
displaying PDFs, either alone or within the browser, and doing much
more. So this is like buying a fancy car with a full stereo system
and then carrying a boom box along on the front seat.

There is one very obvious reason why some might choose to do that :
finance.  The full product is not cheap, and later versions are more
expensive than earlier; some may have bought the full product at
(say) V5, be unable to afford to upgrade, yet still want (or even
need) functionality and/or security that is offered by the later
reader yet not by the earlier full product.

Fair point.

My current Acrobat 10.1.6 works fine, but an upgrade will cost 200 bucks. If the Reader someday adds some security enhancement worth that for free, I suppose I might go that route.
