It's the end result of the whole "don't fail a kid for spelling as it will hurt their self esteem" thing. So a big section of a whole generation feels really great about being stupid.
Sadly many places that get revenue from selling stuff or from other people selling stuff like Ebay eventually have to make it simple enough for the lowest common denominator of our society. Face it, there's a whole lot of stupid people out there, they're as big a market as some entire countries. If only 1/4 of the US population is stupid, that's about as big a market as all of Germany.
