So long story short... They do it for their own benefit. So why would any self respecting paying customer care about any of these reasons?

Pretty much how it always works with business.

I don't think users should reward the behaviour. If they actually lost money because of these decisions, they would stop making those decisions.

But, we both know enough people will bend over and take it.

But, in terms of cost it can be a good move. It's just for us, it makes at best, no difference.
