Because it might at least mitigate the damage after your company get sued by customers who get hacked after you tried to learn on their dime. (Google "Target Trustwave"...)
Seriously, if there's a real business opportunity in your market, your management should either hire an experienced guy/gal and/or partner with an existing firm. Then, you'd have the opportunity to learn along them...while picking up the certs you'll need to be credible when talking to other companies. (And if your management is too cheap to buy your security certs, that's a BIG red flag!)
Anyone else think this makes the watch useless for its target audience? I've had a lot of days that started by leaving the house at 4:30, flying to another city, working and meeting all day, going to dinner, and going out for drinks and ending up back at a hotel at 1-2am...in another time zone. With only 18 hours of time, my freshly-charged watch could be dead at 8-9pm (before we hit the bar).

Kind of weak list, IMHO. For example, where is "overpopulation?"
To me, the Linux experience has been based around the use of simple, command-line oriented tools that could be easily scripted together. That's the opposite of "only two pieces fit together" - just like Legos you have thousands of pieces that could fit together to make billions of different things.
