That can be considered, maybe also with the reasons as you mentioned for the competition, but most of the thief's main purpose is to steal the price of the price of a very stored place, and many treasures in it.
It is because of low security why they can easily hack or hijack some of exchanger but you as a user you can secure also your coins it just simple like the some wallet address before you open it that apps we have we called 2FA which is only you who can know the password for the security and also we have a offline wallet address to not easily hack your coins.
Is there any solid reason why? Is it because they want to make other people not to buy cryptocurrency? I am curious.
It's (like everything) about trying to earn the most with the less effort... There's no use to hack a person's account (secured with 2FA, scrambled password, etc...) because they put a lot of effort into it, and they can just steal on person's bitcoins (or alts). When it's about an exchange, the situation is similar, they need to find something that's vulnerable, but this time they will have the all of the coins (all the users's coins). It's much better for the hackers, so it's understandable that they're trying to hack exchanges instead of everyday people. For the average joe's, there are the phishing attachs, where the people are sending their login details to the hackers...
If hackers hijack any exchanger they will definitely make a huge amount of money because so many people have different cryptocurrencies in the exchanger. I advice exchanger to take security paramount.
They were hacked because they were vulnerable and it was worth a lot to the hacker. I really know how to answer your question. Anything that has been digitalized is open to potential threats. It is just a matter of how well you can secure technology.
