WPA is really really broken. A minute tops.

WPA2 afaik is fine (currently). But there may be plenty of people who were told when they bought their routers or had the service installed by their ISP not to use an open network or WEP as it's insecure, yet WPA was fine at the time. Those people are likely still running WPA and are likely unaware of the need to change.
