I think the "reason" no one's doing too much evil of the sort you
describe with spyware is that the motivation of spyware companies is
"for profit". Many of the spyware developers are full time
programmers with 401K and medical bennies working for profit-seeking
companies that have deplorable business ethics. Phishing crosses the
vague line between what is illegal and what is unpleasant/intrusive.
