Why do people want to become unreg breeders?

With Bengals and Savannahs it's financial.
BYBs can say they are buying a girl, or boy, as a pet and pay only a third of what they should be paying for a cat registered as a breeder with GCCF or TICA.
It's bizarre and I don't really understand it because if a BYB is doing it for 'love of the breed' then they are undermining the breed by not using really good quality cats.. and if they're doing it for money.. well that doesn't make sense either because they cannot charge anywhere near what registered breeders do for registered cats.
What is the pricing like for other breeds? Is there a higher price for breeders? The difference between our active Russian Blues and Abyssinians was nominal compared to the pet price. I have no idea why there would be BYBs in these breeds if the difference is just £50 or £100.
