Theyr'e just guessing hashes all day anyway - isn't it better to get a 2k BTC reward than 12?

Getting 2k coins than 12 but the value is nonexistent? Ahhh no, and also, it would require far better technology than what we have right now to get some promising results. Apart from that, you also need to factor the energy requirement. Add to that fact the vast amount of possibilities the keyspace has. Long story short: not worth the miners' money, machine and time.
