I think the biggest reason is retention rate. They can probably skip the troubles a little bit by going through LeoFinance to make an account but most people are troubled learning how HIVE works. Though they might want their keys eventually to use all the features in HIVE.
I know I was confused about things when I first started and it was also the reason why it took me a long time before I started being more active. Some of them might try out for a week or two and see little to no rewards then quit (not understanding which tags communities and etc). If a new user pops by and starts voting/commenting on whatever they see, then they might run into an RC problem. There are resources to help them through this stage like giftgiver but newbies will not know about it.

I agree that retention is lacking. If even half of those many new accounts kept going Hive would be massive. They need guidance and support in the early days until they find their way.
