I agree. I did this with Blockbuster. At the time I was looking for online 
rentals, Netflix had already had the "view it now" which of course didn't work 
with linux, so I signed up with Blockbuster who didn't have the "view it now" 
at the time and I sent an e-mail to netflix letting them know why I chose 
Blockbuster. Couple weeks later, I seen Blockbuster was implementing the "view 
it now" and had a beta release, Of course it didn't work with linux either, so 
I sent them an e-mail asking them to support linux and if they didn't I was 
going to discontinue my subscription. About 3 months later, still no linux 
support from blockbuster, so I kept to my word and discontinued my 
subscription.
