Tell me about it. They were harvesting red lyrium from those people down there but we caught on because of the large number of disappearances. What if they decide to harvest it from darkspawn instead? They could harvest their red lyrium and we wouldn't be any the wiser because it's a safer alternative.

[ She huffs. ] Not that I'm complaining about the darkspawn being used but I can't see them rummaging around in the Deep Roads and wrangling them up. Just imagine if they could turn an infected Warden into a broodmother and spawn already infected darkspawn.

... They'd have this steady supply and wouldn't have to waste it repeatedly infecting individuals.
