Its been happening for years with Botcon toys though, and even platinum sets, and SDCC and Scrounge. But I agreem, it blows.
Most Botcon boxsets contained toys that had characters who were relevant to each other in the story (Tripedacus Council and their agents, Shattered Glass, etc.), and I haven't seen a single Platinum set whose characters weren't relevant to each other (Autobot Heroes had most of the protaganists together, Insecticons has all three insecticons, etc). There might be a few specific examples where that's not true, but that seems to be the minority.
The SDCC set and Scrounge you're completely right on though. I think people were more fine with the Titan Force set though because next to no-one wanted Windblade in that deco and there were all alternative (arguably superior) options for all those characters. There are currently absolutely no other options for the Autobot Clones, Quickswitch or Nautica which is what is really getting to people.
