Nobody in his right likes it. The software companies do, though, for a number of reasons. First, they can squeeze more money out of people on the long run. Second, if we actually owned the software we paid for, we had much better legal standing with regards to reverse engineering or altering it to fit a purpose - something the normal licensing terms strictly forbid.
