Anyway...
There are a lot of things wrong with that logic...

A good affiliate won't necesarily make a good program owner.

An affiliate has far more options and sources of income by promoting several sites under one domain as opposed to trying to sell their own product.

A LOT more time and effort and resources and everything else goes into running a program... and most affiliates are either not interested in the extra headaches, or aren't really able to handle it all.

Most affiliates run their sites themselves, try running an even half decent program by yourself... We currently have 3 people on our team full time, and a 4th part time, and we're all so swamped it's not even funny.

Running progras these days is hit or miss.. unless you can dominate the niche you're in then you're bound to fail.

And many other reasons I'm sure I missed...
