I suppose I just don't understand why it is any harder to create a "no-cd crack" for this game than it is for any game.
It depends on what level of the protection that is used, some use a very light scheme, others implement the protection to its full "power" thus making it harder.

P.S. : What is the process for creating cracks, anyway? Do they check what resources are called and then just try to write another executable from scratch?
Check target, kill antidebug, dump the whole thing, fix stuff, rebuild the mofo,
check again, wipe some stuff out like cd-checks(optional), tag the bastard
