It's all about money, see, C? …
Not really interested in upgrading, anyway, C … I already have the best Sony APS-C out there …
Also have a pretty capable Nikon in the D7100, and the D5500 …
And, my EOS 60D - although, a little bit older than the others - is STILL a helluva camera.
I post my threads, to engage folks in discussion, not to generate support for buying something new.

Richard - most software is INSTALLED on a PC's hard drive, where it is no longer volatile.
As far as postage being expensive, yes - it HAS gone up in recent years. However, mailing of a CD/DVD - when you've just given proof you've bought a $4500 camera - hardly seems worth a blink!!!!

Richard - can't really see there's any difference between doing a download to a camera, and installing it from a CD loaded onto the PC, and then connecting the camera to it, and going from there - can you?

Money...download is free, a CD is not.

When you show you've spent four grand plus for a camera, it sure as hell should be, C …
Actually, a download is not entirely free, as you must pay for the bandwidth and the connection.
It might even work out CHEAPER, having a CD sent to you … what could it cost? … $3-4 ????

Cheaper for the company that provides the software.

Again:
Postage is expensive. With downloads all you need is a server to host them on and bandwidth, and access can be world wide.

But, if one calculated the cost of the bandwidth, and the cost of the time it takes to download something of this magnitude, I think you might find the CD and postage to send it, might, possibly - be cheaper.
I wonder who does these kinds of statistics, Richard. There MUST be someone, who does ….

The "bean counters" do this, and some managers.
Consider the CD's:
People to burn the CD's
People to stick the labels on the CDs
People to adress the envelopes.
People to put the CDs into the enevelopes.
People to lick the stamps and attach them to the envelopes.
People to take the envelopes to the post office for posting.
Consider downloads:
Once it has been set up then the customer does it all.
ie: No workers needed and that can be a major part of the operating costs.

You make it seem like six people do all that!!! ... Why can't one?
That's part of the problem w/ the American system ... too much breakdown of a simple task into too many different parts .... with UNIONS governing each part ...
