just because they don't want to be alone and maybe haven't found a better opportunity?

Many people do and it is a sad commetary of life to think of others doing this. Some people stay for the kids, some for financial reasons others for fear of how others would respond to their breaking up. Regardless life is too short and we should be happy and so therefore if we are not feeling satisfied with a relationship then move on and let the other person move on also.

Definitely! But a very deep question with many psychological reasons (to which I am not a specialist).
Suggestions would be,not in any particuluar order:
Previous family relationships / experiences
Previous relationships
'Power' of the partner
Siblings and friends following that route and wanting to remain at current status with them
Time spent finding current partner
Unhappiness in other areas of life and the need for support
As your question infers the fear of being alone, especially when unhappy with life in general, is a strong persuader to stay with anybody just to fill the gap. Personally speaking, feel that best relationships come when both partners are aware of themselves, including their shortcomings, and therefore it is better to spend time alone to discover this, than to be 'directed' by somebody else. Then its just finding somebody else who is in the same position, which is the difficult bit! lol

By fear of being alone , lots of ppl will never break up even if the situation is totally unbearable. Emptyness scares the living crap out of ppl. Sometimes also they are waiting for a bridge to go to another one before they cut with this one. Sometimes it's for dolla dolla bills ya $.In my case though, it's solo time rather than lying to me and to someone else...Another one will come along when the time is right .

Yes a lot of people stay for the kids or financial security.

Unfortunately yes, there are people who are afraid of being alone, or are scared that they will hurt the other person if they end it.

she married this guy, 6 months later he hits her 'every once in a while' and calls her fat 'sometimes'.
