Is the risk or cost too high?

I think there are a variety of different reasons:
1. Can't afford it. Adult merchant accounts cost a few thousand to open. Smaller sites often don't have a few thousand lying around.
2. Lack of knowledge. They aren't aware that they can get their own merchant account.
3. Too lazy or wary of getting their own merhcant account.
