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.
