Why does Italy go NMR so often??

I've noticed this a lot with online games. I have about 5 games going simultaneously on WebDip right now, and in three of them Italy has gone NMR in 1901 and/or replaced with another player. With other platforms like Backstabbr it's even worse.
Do players really hate playing Italy that much? I have not seen this pattern with any other country (distant second in my experience would be Russia).
I actually enjoy playing Italy - it's a nice challenge, you have to pretty much fight for every SC outside Tunis and be in constant communication with 3 neighbors, like Austria but without sitting on the powder keg that is the Balkans.
(Other thing I noticed, slightly off-topic: Why is Austria always assigned to players who seem to never know what they are doing and get wiped out by like 1904?)
