I think the main answer to that question is that most affiliates don't want to (or can't?) put in the amount of work that it would require. In my opinion, most affiliates are more or less lazy, and want nothing more than to demand the program make everything available for them to use, put as little effort into their 'work' as they possibly can, and take home 50% for essentially doing nothing.
Naturally, not all affiliates are like this as we have quite a few good ones ourselves.
But the fact remains that the affiliate model in it's current form is broken as fuck, not to mention that reaching out and giving most people that kind of trust is going to do nothing but get you burned, badly. We only have, maybe, a handful of affiliates in our program that we would trust to this extent. The list is certainly small.
