I think the fact that the Internet's users are still here is proof that the
bad guys *do* care.  If any of the black hats really *didn't* care, they'd
have rendered large swatches of the Internet into smoking craters.

Remember that they need it to be at least stable enough so you don't
re-install Vista (or better) and wipe out their keystroke logger, spyware,
adware, botware, or whatever glorpware they dropped on the system.
