It opens the run dialog, which I’m sure the vast majority of Windows users have never heard of. This would trick a lot of people who just trust whatever their computer asks them to do.

Not everyone knows everything. Actually, nobody does.
Computers simply became an easily available necessity, thus you get a lot of computer-illiterate people using computers.
