They are trapped by their own business models and the only way out is something not only new and unproven but something that they can't wrap their brains around.
Reminds me of this oh-so-good book and movie, Fight Club:
The things you own end up owning you. - Tyler Durden
That got me thinking: "How about making things that own other people?"
I guess it ends up in the same situation... People you own due to the things you make end up owning you.
...to check if the submission description is accurate.
Haven't you heard? That's uncool. Number One already said that they get hundreds of submissions a day and can't find the time to read and check all of them. Because that's uncool.
Those of us involved with IT security know this attack vector all too well. If you want to really scan for virus and trojans on a crtical PC, you map the administrative shares C$ D$ etc to another PC, and run the virus scanner on that machine.
That way you know for certain that you haven't been rooted, a kit can only hide from the PC it is hidden on, not another machine.
So what stops the rootkit from hooking itself into the filesystem/-sharing layer and faking its non-existance?

Right next to the "Frist Prost!" and GNAA posts, Natalie Portman and hot grits jokes, Soviet Russia/Korea/Overlord memes, pop culture references, polls with "CowboyNeal" options, general trolls*, Nigerian spam rip-offs, and bad puns? Unpossible!*

It does, doesn't it? I am at a total loss where that could be from.
Two actually. Two heretic ideas:
(1) Reverse the DNS order (e.g. http://aol.www/)
(2) Get rid of TLDs, make everything up for grabs, and force at least two domain combinations
this makes stuff like
http://microsoft.msdn/
http://gnu.linux/
http://debian.sarge/
http://gentoo.linux/
possible. Imagine the possibilities!
Consider http://k.de/ :P
mplayer does that just fine, thank you.
I, for one, welcome our alien overlords.

Lame.
No shit. That's a perl interpreter right there. :>
Oh, the irony! They probably submitted a PDF. ;)
Hell yeah! It'll idle at 100% instead of 99%. ;)
But they somehow manage to eat my socks. Go figure.

I think it is CodeWeavers who do something like this:
/* ... */
int foobar(int* outSum, int inFirst, int inSecond)
{
}
I started to use this naming style. It works pretty good.
$ cat > constant.c
#include
int const foobar = 1;
int main(void)
{
int qwertz = 1;
if (qwertz = foobar)
;
return 0;
}^D
$ gcc -Wall constant.c

Sorry to crush your joke, but the Yamaha Vocaloid synthetic singer does exactly that.
Another one bites the dust. :)
