What are the reasons loyalists were neutral had for not choosing a side?

I believe is because they were not unsatisfied with Great Britain and it's acts on the Colony.

However, we forget that the war was fought by common people, with their motivations. And that's the case of Loyalists. They were not unsatisfied with Great Britain, maybe because they were wealthy enough; or because they believed that Great Britain's actions were normal.  Or because they didn't believed that the fight against England was not only unnecessary but wrong.
