2. Because throwing cpu power at them to solve the stabilization issue turns it from a mechanical project to an electronics project, which appeals to geeks everywhere who don't have much of any fabrication experience.
You do have less unique moving parts. Just one per rotor, all the same.
I think that's a big plus. No jesus bolt, no variable angles of attack, no gearbox. I also don't know how well electronic motors scale, maybe a bit smaller is better?
