Personal pride.
For a more accurate rating play often and a variety of opponents.
What is the common sentiment among Chess.com members about beating the computer opponents time and time again to bolster up your points a bit? Once you recognize it's ever-occurring weaknesses, it becomes quite easy to beat it and you gain as much points as beating a human. Plus, it never learns so you can win with the same strategy all the time.
I just had a bad losing streak and whenever that happens to me I wonder whether it'd be "unethical" to exploit the computer in such a manner or if the majority thinks that a win is a win, no matter if it's man or machine.
