Because everyone that asks ME about such a device wants/needs to play back local content. The online stuff is a nice treat. And the WDTV is cheap. Yes, the UI is lacking. Everything is compared to the Boxee.

Oh, and if they wanted access primarily to Netflix, I'd recommend a BluRay player, which at less than $100 also plays BluRay and DVD physical media, which can also be gotten from Netflix (in the US).
