Because stuff like this grossly undermines human instrumentality. Its worse on sites like eBay, though, because an auction bot can outbid someone in the last few seconds, despite the would-be winner's having placed what seemed like a safe, reasonable bid; and possibly his willingness to pay more if given the chance.
But, such is Capitalism. Try to stop it, and McCarthy's ghost will give you a nucular wedgie.
