Because it had a huge backlash. His game was 1-star bombed on Amazon. And since then, they've raised the limit to 5 computers but its still a crippling feature.

I think you'll find he had very little to do with the decision to incorporate Secu-ROM. I mean, he's essentially already answered that question and I'm sure he gets bugged with that all the time:

I think one of the most valid concerns about it was you could only install it so many times. For most players it’s not an issue, it’s a pretty small percentage, but some people do like wiping their hard disk and installing it 20 times or they want to play it 10 years later.

Some good questions:
What did he learn from working on Spore that he'll take with him to his next project? Which leads into, does he have any ideas for what he'd like to work on next?
Or, if he could have changed one thing about the development process of Spore to make it a better product what would he have changed (if anything)?
