I'm not sure why it should be expected. Most of the third-party
products whose disk images I download do not use Internet-enabled
disk images, so I expect to see a disk image file I can mount,
examine its contents, unmount, mount again, and so on.

I won't go so far as to call them the work of the devil, but I don't
want one for my product and I don't expect or want them when I
download other products.
