This trend is simply because legacy solutions like traditional signature-based antivirus are struggling to keep up with its sophistication (Trend Micro, 2017). Attackers are always aiming for stealth, and the characteristic of fileless malware is just the perfect ingredient to blend into normal day-to-day operations of an organization and to stay undetected.
