That is a fair question - and my answer is that some folks are used to using it and don't want to change. Old habits die hard, especially for older folks. What Craig has done with this is provided people with a consumer-grade experience for verifying software. I hear your concerns, but this will likely help people to avoid downloading malware, and give them some exposure to the cool stuff available in Sparrow. The fact that it can be used for verifying 3rd party software is cool af, IMO.
