I'm in no way a music industry expert, but I can see a couple of scenarios where this is bad: - an emerging band/small label might need those 3 months of revenue to actually survive, especially if it's their first/only release - people will probably listen after the 3 months, but I can imagine most albums are listened to during the launch window and not much after, so they're be losing most of their money...
