I'd imagine part of the reason is because of the malicious bots that regularly make rounds and result in @everyone pings warning about the latest way hackers are trying to steal your account (lack of trust in security) combined with the huge potential losses when someone inevitably finds a vulnerability that allows them to drain your crypto. It also doesn't help that they seem to be doing nothing to try and explain themselves. There's no blog posts about this, so speculation is running rampant.
