That's not the only thing. It's the hassle as well.
First they want you to sign up for an account. Give a lot of personal data. Then set up a payment model, often recurring. Just to read one article? No way.
Micropayments will save some of that hassle but I don't want to have an account with every news site linked to by HN.
