Hello, first post.
I fail to see the advantage of an online wallet. Isn't this against the base principles of bitcoins?
Bitcoins are designed to work without a centralized authority, yet people dump thousands of $$$ into a website.
People should be more careful with money in general. You would never give a complete stranger your money without any advantages in him keeping it for you.

Welcome.
Indeed. Bitcoin is about de-centralization, pseudo-anonymity, operating with low trust, "being your own bank" and so on.
Folks sending all their BTC to online wallets lose that in exchange for "convenience". Why not sticking with fiat, CC or paypal then?
