That's easy. The same reason people used to buy Mammoth PostgreSQL (not
the replicator version).
There is an assumption that there is a throat to choke, or sue as the
case may be. What most people
fail to realize is that almost ALL software has a maximum of a 90 day
warranty with a limitation
of liability to the cost of the software.
