I think these companies (the ones having trouble) would stand a better chance of getting market share if they cut out the BS. Denon selling a CAT5 cable for $499.99.......I lost all respect for them the day I saw that, to the extent of maybe not choosing Denon for my next upgrade. This coming from someone with mostly Denon equipment at present and is very happy with its performance.
They are all guilty of it. While it may have washed in the 90's to sell $500/Meter speaker cable, it is now 2009 and we have something called the internet to aid our research. The average consumer today is streets ahead of the average consumer from the 90's and can for the most part see through BS marketing.
Of course there will always be a market for unidirectional SPDIF connections............for those with their heads up their arse.
