Because you can do that with a bit of reading and gstreamer. And because designing and building a solution for every graphic/video designer out there is expensive. Adobe and Autodesk got the right idea, dont complain too much if people are pirating your shit, wait until they get used to your stuff, then give them a cheap way to be legal. I use Autodesk Inventor every so often, but 30 quid/month is not something that I feel in my pocket and they get a revenue stream out of that. Obviously, they kind of built the entire thing on charging lots in the past, but now, now I can afford that as a hobist.
