 consider things... what is a WordCamp without Attendees ?

 about community... It's a kind of "evangelisation" and the start of a more
 effective contribution.

 I get what you're saying, but by the same logic we can say "What is
 WordPress without users?" and we would then have to give badges to
 everyone who has ever downloaded or used WordPress - they use it and could
 also spread the word about it.

 Profile badges are designed to recognise people who make contributions to
 keeping the WordPress project growing and moving forward, so if we start
 giving them to everyone then it would dilute their purpose and make them
 all rather pointless.
