All of this is true but there is more risk with a smaller program handling their own payouts. That's not to say that it isn't ever worth it to take the additional risk.
Allison from TB made a post on that topic which I found to be rather refreshing at the time even though it was mostly neutral:

This is sort of what I am talking about. In the old days it used to be more common to see people from large programs actively supporting affiliates and others who just got screwed. Sometimes this would help to get affiliates their money in the end because the crooks would think twice about what they were doing and the possible consequences.
