Sure. But the default is very powerful. They've proven they can literally get kids to eat healthier by where they place the vegetables in a school lunch queue.

In this case, if people who can afford it choose to pay for software, and the developers are supported... what's the harm (besides the annoyance)?

It's the same reasoning that is used for having there being a set tip amount. And I hate that too. I guess no harm other than annoyance though.
