Lots of people give a crap, myself included. Why would I run a resource hungry browser process with a huge attack surface and support for dozens of protocols, plugins, etc for the entire length of the transfer just to download some files? For a dedicated torrent client to infect your PC with a "real" virus, you'd need to download the torrent and execute the file yourself (PEBCAK). I trust my own judgement much more than some random webpage.
