I don't care WHY they do it. I don't care IF they do it. I only care if they pretend it's for anything other than personal selfish reasons (or if they pretend their practice is Justified).

So much so that I might even imply that I might consider doing the same thing myself.
I DO do it. I explicitly acknowledge doing it. And if they found out about it and cancelled my account over it, I'd have no one to blame for it but myself. Same as if I chose to use their return policy as a personal "try before you buy" service, or took kickbacks for good reviews.
