Too many people think they'll be rich one day to fight.
Aside from that, there are a distressing amount of people who think violence is never okay. And by violence I mean direct, immediate, violence. Denying someone health care for profit is cool. Telling someone to work an extra unpaid hour or they'll be fired, and risk eviction and starvation, that's fine. But the idea of taking an ultra wealthy man's blood soaked money by force? Fetch the pearls and smelling salts, it's pearl clutching and fainting time.
Yes, yes, non-violent protest is allegedly more effective*, but I'm not going to be mad if some rich asshole gets his skull cracked.
* but like is it though? we still have a capitalist hellscape
