I pretty much agree with this view, and want to add something that is obvious, but hasn't been mentioned in this thread, which is that SB is multi-platform. So whether SD decided to bundle other programs to rip/tag/etc. or develop their own, they'd have to do it for Windows, Mac, and Linux. So all the management headaches that radish mentions are multiplied by a factor of 3 (at least).
