I guess it depends on your definition of "deliberately"

The built-in processing/decoding capabilities of mass-market players are rarely, if ever, as good as what you can get from a pre/pro, or even a good-quality HT receiver. This isn't so much a matter of the manufacturers "deliberately" trying to make things bad - it's more a function of the cost to engineer and implement. See my comments below regarding the TrueHD decoding capabilities of the Panasonic BluRay players as an example.
