Honest answer?

Too damn complicated for the average Joe to bother with. Much more seductive to learn how to read charts and then play 'video games'. Day trading is sexy if you believe the hype.

I love numbers, so when I finally took a look at options and the various ways to trade, my reaction was 'Bloody hell, why didn't I look at this stuff years ago?'.
