Probably all of the above. But mostly because many doctors are overworked and it is the easy way out for both. For the patient because he doesn't have to change his lifestyle, for the doctor because the patient shuts up and leaves, because: hey, if the doctor says so it must be right. Moreover, pharma companies probably sugarcoated the addictive potential (as was the case with oxycontin)
Yep... so many factors just push in the directions of drugs over lifestyle change.
