My entire argument (and probably that of others as well) is that having to render the NPC shops incurs a large amount of overhead, forces the devs to limit the Market Wards in multiple ways, and requires much more effort to maintain and develop than a menu driven, NPC-less version. In essence, the devs put in more effort to get an inferior system.
