Do you keep your car doors unlocked when you park in safe neighborhoods? Do you give nice strangers a spare key to your house? Do you sleep in an expensive hotel with the door propped open? Do you keep your password on a sticky note at your desk inside your secure office?
Of course not. So why would I disable my security software just because a site I visit hasn't been hacked yet? That's just basic security hygiene.

Policy and culture can and have changed overnight in organizations after acquisition. It's the same as with Troy's argument about good browser extensions. Yes they are good today but them being bought for 5 figures and the personal data harvested does not make the news and the users are clueless about it. I rather just not take the risk.
