It may be he doesn't see them as contributing enough to a product's subsidizing/support. Depending on consumer donations is very unreliable compared to other methods of subsidization. In most cases, tip jars have been demonstrated to be inadequate to provide reasonable compensation to the producer. (I emphasize "most"... there are always exceptions to every rule.)
