Because legit mom & pop shops want to sign-up and build a website in the
same way they throw a brochure together down at Kinkos.  Welcome to the
"here and now" generation. ;-)

I'm not saying that I agree with immediate domain registration, but I
understand why it is what it is today.

Want to fix it: have ICANN regulate and fine registrars who don't screen
their clientele.  There are enough spam/virus/bot reports out there to
see who is responsible for what.
