The problem I would have is being called a lazy webmaster and being completely trashed on the message board. It's clear that the owner doesn't appreciate the hard work webmasters to do earn him money, and after being talked about like that, I would want to take my traffic to a program where I was at least given quiet indifference and not outspoken contempt. 
But I can understand your point. If it works for you and you don't mind sending your traffic to someone who would talk about their affiliates that way, that's okay, too.

Yes, some program owners are totally clueless ;(
I saw worst than that from a penis pills company i sent traffic for.
I used their google friendly link code on many PR domains , and i got rank 4 for a related term for months.
One day, i saw this affiliate program owner using AdWords on the same term ... totally gay
1 week later i saw the owner posting on a SEO forum, and tell the members he got an affiliate cheating them because he steal their traffic they pay for in a Adwords campaign because the affiliate link code is ranked #4 for this related keyword in google. And he was asking advice about that.
Others fuck in the forum said to the owner to modify the link code , and redirect the traffic from this link code in the in-house account.
What a bunch of retards.
2 days later , i received a email from the affiliate program, and they tell me, we upgraded our system , we modify all ppl link code...bla bla bla , lot of bullshit finally.
A few days later my affiliate code was always working to their site, but redirected in the in-house account, no signup counted for me.
So i removed all links from my PR network , and they lost this link in google in about 2 weeks.
So yes, some affiliates owners are completly clueless. Now they need to use Adwords only on this term, and they have a competitor on rank 4 ...
