Your ability to not understand why baffles me. There is plenty of logical reasos why the older crowd would want one. Its not like they are strapping training wheels on a gixxer1k. Lay some better options out there, please enlighten me. And most of those trikes aren't rickety. They aren't nibble by anymeans but in a straight line which most people on this forum are all about, perform very well. Last year I saw a couple well into their 60s. The guy was a boss hoss and his wife was on a boss hoss trike.
