Because it's anti-consumer and it stifles innovation. It's the same problem with console exclusives. It allows a company to release an inferior hardware product and crush the market by using other people's software offerings, rather than have to compete on the hardware front.

Same reasons why nvidia shouldn't pay anyone to make sure a game won't run on ATi cards?
