2.   they have zero outgoing TX, never spent a Satoshi

This one is easy to explain. It is not good for security purposes to reuse addresses. Once you spend coins from an address, the public key will be revealed, so you should always move the rest of your coins to a new address.

Most of these addresses are probably long-term storage. The owners likely have other wallets that they use for day-to-day transactions.
