Price is a factor too. Access to the online version of arguably the best Dutch dictionary costs 75 euro's a year. The print version costs 180 euro's and lasts you a lifetime. Granted, you don't have the monthly updates they claim to do, but I personally hardly look up modern words so that adds little value for me. For the convenience of a quick search interface I would be willing to buy an online version for a euro per month. For that price, the publisher would have earned more money from me than he has until now, since my print version is over thirty years old (and still going strong).
