They have said they would not do certain things, yet they do it anyway. So what's your point?
The reason why they won't do it has nothing to do with the "decision" based on any game play strategy, it is solely based on the fact that in order to do it, they would have to do additional programming, which they are too cheap and lazy to do.
If you break it down, it all comes down to changes in the DB, but DBA's are not cheap and a lot of QA to make it work right with the app.
