The ease of development that DX10 offers to developers is directly linked to the consumer!

If we the developer doesn't have difficulties developing stunning graphics, fluent input systems and awesome sound (all of which is a portion of the full api), they have more time to spend on interesting ideas and ground breaking design. And that is what the consumer wants.

DX10 >>>>> DX9!!! It is no secret that DX10 is more superior in every way. I Develop games, and the power that comes with DX10 shadows that of DX9.

All parts of its design has been improved. The amount of hard work involved in such a project is massive. If you did something revolutionary (even if most of it is only seen by developers), wouldnt you want to stress how revolutionary it is?

These guys work extremely hard to provide you with the best experience possible, be gratefull and stop hammering them.
