And some don't care how many players use their addon at all.
They do it for themselves , their guild and their friends and family.
They upload to Curse & Wowinterface for ease of updating for the members of their above circle.
So they will go for whatever site they find easier to work with.
Other addon authors do it for the fun of coding and upload it for their fellow addon authors to pick through. "Maximum exposure" is about the furtherest thing from their mind.
