Errata kept randomly changing how lots of rules worked and worked in conjunction with one another for 4e, and thus people complained about a shifting rules base and printed books quickly being out of date so to speak. Changing something people paid for in print almost monthly versus providing them with free access to material that they otherwise would need to buy an extra book to use, those aren't even comparable.</blockquote>
