Why would anyone bother to set it?
Two reasons 1) By standardizing the process, it removes the excuse for using various hacks and duct tape.2) Because the villian in Bond movies don't view themselves as evil. Google is happy to pre-check the box to install their Toolbar, OpenDNS is proud they redirect phishing sites with DNS lookups, Earthlink says it
improves the customer experience, and so on.If they don't set the bit using the standardized process, then they lose their fig leaf.
