Maybe it's mostly for the limited time free offers like this one?
I own The Orchestra Complete 2, but through the Best Service store. Either way, it's not a huge issue for me because all of my plugins and Kontakt libraries are backed up to an external hard drive and my Google Drive.
It was for my paid one as well. I also have backups, but nothing is fool proof. I know Loopmasters may charge $1 to download a free label sample pack to cover bandwidth cost. Not sure why some think it is a good idea to force you pay big dollars again just to cover a 10-30 cent bandwidth cost. I know IK Multimedia is doing this for their sample libs, but not the VSTs. And it is not like anyone advertise it, so it becomes an after the fact. Think they should change that. If it is free, obviously, I think it is OK to restrict it.
