Answer 3

2 cut costs due 2 theft

Answer 4

Cost and to discourage people wanting to take them home.

Answer 5

Firstly because they are cheap, secondly, because they are fairly uncomfortable to write with, so people are less likely to steal them, they go through enough of them as it is, so to have them constantly stolen costs them more, they want to keep costs down, so they use the small ones.  I know they do get stolen, but not nearly in as high a quantity as they would if they were bic biros for example.
