If you do that for the heck of it, you are just plain an arse.

Whether you in particular want a good or bad to be inclusive or exclusive is your own decision. But I can tell you that the reason companies bother to artificially make goods exclusive is because there are people who want it to be. Which are malicious people, as stated above.
