Futures market is much deeper then GLD (which may change in the future). As of 02/15/05 open interest in futures was 26,258,900 oz and GLD has only about 5,000,000 oz.
In addition as you noted futures are leveraged by default and also have preferred tax treatment. Specs who trade futures can't live without leverage.
