I totally understand what you are saying, and sort of touch on that in the article. I don't think P90X is the best long term solution, buts it's great for people that are just learning how to become fit as it's an all-in-one solution.
After completing my first 90 days, I bought a weight bench/smith machine, started lifting, and started running.
Many people get intimidated by just hitting the gym without much fitness knowledge (the people, the equipment, the possible embarrassment, etc...).
The reason it gets such rave reviews is that people who never worked out start using it and seeing results after 2-3 months. This will hold true for nearly any workout program initially, because and untrained body is much more susceptible to losing weight and/or gaining muscle. If you are serious about wanting to be in shape and have fitness be a part of your life in the long run, I suggest going to an actual gym and doing some resistance exercises with REAL weights - you not only burn fat at a much higher weight, but you also build muscle as well.
