I imagine it is mostly that people never think they'll get caught - or they view the risk of getting caught as much lower than the benefit of not moving, in any case. Edit 1: To add: I think "people" also underestimate just how easy it is to get caught. Getting caught doesn't mean you're stupid, or inexperienced, or anything except that you slipped once. You forgot the proxy, once. You sent your personal pubkey your rather your darknet pubkey, once. It takes next to nothing at all to get caught. Edit 2: The link you posted was about a javascript 0day exploit in the Tor Browser Bundle. Implementation flaws will always be there, but if the theory is broken as well... My question is about if the tor protocol itself could theoretically shield a hidden service from a global, active adversary. Which I think it couldn't.
