It has to do with control. The powers-that-be never appreciate it when the rabble (customers in this case) obtain more control then they would like. I don't think there is any need to defend technology in this case. It's merely a means to an end. Sort of like blaming the dictionary for Richard Stallman.

No commercials and a whole season over 1-2 weeks. We're just finishing up the second season of The Office and next week which catch Season 3 if it's out.
