Thanks for the input guys, didn't expect so many responses but they do line up with my thinking. Maybe just noob affiliate admins, maybe the program owners, who knows. Sent them emails with my thoughts so we'll just leave it at that, no need for the GFY public shaming

I tend to agree with this, after the rise of tubes the tone & relationship between programs & affiliates *in general* changed a bit. And like a few of you affiliate marketing is just a secondary thing for me, so even in the best of times my #s never compared to the dedicated folks.
