If tor is only used by people in difficult circumstances, it is targetable. The bad guys flood the network with compromised nodes, overwhelm clean nodes, and pretty soon, the network is useless for exactly the people who need it.
The way tor works, it is more valuable to those people when it is used primarily by people who don't need it.
