In fact a destroyed factory gives the force 4 times the gold the spawned creeps would give you. The team gets 33% of that, so you still get an overall gold bonus from killing a factory. The longer the game goes, the more advantage a destroyed factory brings in terms of gold income.
Also a single player needs maybe 2 attacks if he is suited for base attacks. For example if you play a strat that already incorporates an advanced siege pack (ghost or air ship+ short range come to mind), you just need a single misstep from the opponents to destroy a factory.
