Why do you have to chose the "Attribution" option with the new CC 2.0 Licenses?

Hello,
I know only 4% chosed not to use the "Attribution" option, but is that
really a reason to remove this possibility?
In my opinion, freedom is also freedom of choise. So a license that aims
to be "free" should also give the authors the possibility to customize
it towards freedom and not force them to chose restrictions they may not
want even though the number of authors not chosing this restriction is
rather low.
Currently, I'll stick to http://creativecommons.org/licenses/sa/1.0/ :-)
There also seems to be another problem with the current attribution terms:
