Hum, I disagree with you. The markers info is loaded once, and you can then navigate the map easily without having to load anything but the baseLayer tiles. With a raster layer for the pushpins, you would have to load the tiles while navigating the map. So I think that with their approach they save bandwidth, and they increase usability for the final user.
