That conversation's come up before with okay, if lycanthropy is so awesome, why aren't people with terminal diseases lining up to get infected in order to be cured? Morally, there's nothing to really stop a doctor from injecting patients with concentrated lycanthropy serum.
The other part is that there's a serious neglect of shapeshifter culture because it's all so OMG SECRET. I mean, if you get infected with lycanthropy from a bad batch of vaccine, then what? Where do you go for help figuring out where to go from here? How the hell does the pack find you to induct you into their secret gatherings? Is there homework on the history and rituals? An instruction manual of "So You're A Werewolf: Things You Need To Know."
Vampires have a semi-structure in place when if you're going to be turned, the master would stick around to show the n00b the ropes, so what do werewolves do? Especially if you're a survivor of a genuine attack.
Ugh, sorry to babble at you, but you're not alone in being an insensitive dork that thinks too much about these things.
