SwirlsGirl,
There isn't a reason why affiliate tours have to have any leaks nor is there a reason that affiliates can't get credit in situations where they are traditionally entitled to credit. All these things can be fixed and the sponsor can still do whatever they like for the non-affiliate traffic in almost every case that I can think of. It's just a matter of setting the program up that way and it usually isn't all that hard to do. In some cases it might mean setting a cookie and looking for it or perhaps it might mean creating a special leak free affiliate tour but is that really a big deal considering that it might make a program that much more attractive?
The short term monetary question of making more with the program full of leaks makes a lot of sense, however it's also basic business to avoid partnerships with people who you perceive as wanting to rip you off. If we're talking of Rev share and the possibility of promoting a program for years you can probably see the issue with that.
