That's debatable. If a single program loses it's ability to buy and sell xsales, they might go out of business almost instantly. If all programs had to remove xsales at once, the playing field would still be even... Payouts would have to be dropped across the industry, and each program would still have an active affiliate base to build on.

Xsales are popular because they are legal and make lots of money. If they disappeared, the programs that rely on them will just make less money.
