I'm constantly amazed, working in an IT environment, at the awfulness of software engineering in general. Companies pay so much for specialised software to serve their needs, that frankly is written like crap. Terrible interfaces, nearly impossible to learn to use. The same problems seem to affect much of the consumer software industry, this sort of software included. The "official" media downloading software, as mentioned elsewhere here, is almost always slammed as being hard to use and difficult to understand. Meanwhile, a custom-designed app by hackers works better.
No wonder people'd rather use that.

kudos:18 | I have a "few" different media players.
The downloads from legal sources are sometimes restricted to "Their" player.
Uhm... no.
When I download a media file from "other sources", trust me, I can play it fine. 
It's all about which player to use.
