Because they quite often offer up items for deletion that should NOT be
deleted, and relatively few users know the difference. Thus we regularly get
systems that somebody tried to "fix" or "tune-up" using a Registry Cleaner
(and usually additional utilities that are just as bad) only to make things
worse to the point of requiring a full reformat and reinstallation. Unless,
of course, the user happens to have a backup to resort to.
