Because there are free and open source alternatives available, rather than having WinRAR beg you to pay for it every time you open it. You should really try 7-Zip. Haven't looked back at WinRAR or any other utility since.

It doesn't bother me to just hit ESC after I open it, can see how that would bug others (though tbf that's the point, and it remains free for me to use despite escaping out of that request for decades). Are there any advantages in speed of compression by switching to a different program?
