There are so many programs now and they are automated, so its very natural that the profit is the measurement. Out of total traffic, review-sites must be small compared to all the portals/TGPs etc. And these other sites promote the same way, not by giving score, comments and so on, but they give the most profitable sites better spots ("recommended" sites, "hall of fame" galleries etc.)
Its the same princip, and if its disliked, you can't do anything about it, except banning affiliates from promoting other programs... which is not a good idea.
As an affiliate, I would say the best way for a program to get better spots, is to give the affiliates unique tools to promote with. Either by personal contact and/or content reward. Its not only competition between programs, but also between affiliates
