Why do so many MongoDB installation lack a password on the Admin account?

I tried search for me info, but could find anything. Was this the default? Procedure given in a popular tutorial? It seems pretty insane.

It was the default for at least a year I think. They changed the defaults, but that didn't impact any existing default configs...
