I don't know for sure, but I suspect it's because pyster will let
you through the gates with no money and leave you with a negative
balance at the other end. If there was no deposit for getting a
card, people could get an Oyster, go through the gates, chuck it
away with the negative balance and then get another Oyster for
getting back home.

That's interesting. How many times are you allowed to rack up
successive negative balance on the one card?

As far as I'm aware, only once. If you have negative balance you can't
go through the gates again until it's sorted out.
