Why are people using staking pools for BUZZ or other cryptos ?
Is it really worth the risk ?
They could exit scam at any moment...

I don't think it is. It's a good principle idea, but it would have to be a highly trusted group of people, like if Coinbase or some major exchange started doing it. The dev's behind these staking pools should come out in the open as to exactly who they are.
After all, staking is just as much a part of the blockchain as is POW and is necessary, no reason why big interests should not be doing these staking pools oneday.
1) I don't want to leave my wallet open all the time.
2) I don't want to run my computer all the time (energy).
