Both very valid points, however the latter has only really risen to the level of a true detriment as TMCC/Legacy and DCS have entered old age.
When they were new the market was different and not only tolerated them but expanded rapidly because of them.
In hindsight were they a good idea? At the time yes because the market grew nicely. Now, in retrospect, clearly not so much.
