A big problem is that the Windows platform has normalized the idea of 3rd party software running at the kernel level, and end users allow it because it's so normal. They've also normalized the idea of 3rd party software (even games) requiring Admin access to run, which is not as bad but a similar threat. Software that routinely requires elevated privileges seems to be a bad idea.
