You may be in the minority. People buy products with huge ridiculousness factors -- DRM, region locking, DLC, retroactive feature removal (I'm looking at you, Sony), the mess that is the US cell phone carrier industry...The number of customers who simply don't care about such things is large enough to support a lot of companies.
Losing access to one desirable program is nowhere near as bad as losing access to being able to use your computer at all (except for the keyboard shortcut gods). The latter will leave a much more indelible impression.
