For some it may be ego.

For me, it's 125% bonus miles, that turn many fares I couldn't justify into a free plane ride, with me trading cash for FF miles. And F is just a bonus.

IMHO, if you don't break the rules, there should be no ethical dilemma. But, if it still bothers you, don't do it. I try not to do things that bother me.

It is amazing people's tolerance for different unethical activities.
