Several years of poor commoners are not worth weakening alliances with great houses

For most people, probably not, but having the support of the masses might be more valuable for a house that is either not a major player among the existing alliances, or not going to win any friends anyway (such as Malfoy).

The House of Malfoy seems to win friends among Slytherin very easily.
