It is massively easier then having to reverse engineer the entire application and start from scatch.
For example, when reverse engineering malware, it is much more challenging then just writing a program from scratch, since you have to try reverse engineering it and try to understand the logic that the original developer used when creating it.

Sure thing, but old Carbonite code is completly unusable in this case, as there were so many changes since then.
