Not Sure Why But

Pioneer forces one to the "Elite" players if you want audio via HDMI and connect the video with component to a display.

This necessarily will not effect the majority of potential adopters to Blu Ray but enough folks still have older displays with only component, no HDMI. I don't think any other company forces one to a much more expensive player to do something even their $150 player can.
