The thing is, Tor is slow as balls, makes the web unreliable (lots of Capatchas), is not meant for use on sites you log in to (which is most things on the internet these days), requires extra software, and usually requires the use of more obscure search engines (because of previously mentioned Capatchas). That's the cost. So what's the reward? Anonymity. What users are willing to pay a high cost for that kind of anonymity? Usually the kinds of users who are trying to hide from the kinds of people who look at Tor users with suspicion.
Don't get me wrong, I like Tor, but I also understand the pragmatism in law enforcement being a bit interested in people trying that hard to hide what they are doing online.
