It is probably a similar subset of the people who want install everything.

When I went through the groups lists there were so many choices I just
decided to mass submit for some pages as it was easier to have someone
tell me "Hey you didn't want to do that." versus find out later I
needed to apply for a group if I wanted to do something.  I am
guessing it is another example of the too many choices problem: while
some people can't make any decision from the multitude there are..
some people have found it more useful to just choose everything to see
what happens.
