The reason is clear.

People deserve to get correct information when they buy a new program and nobody
told them that Ruffian2 is less tested than Ruffian Leiden so they made wrong
assumption and tested only Ruffian2.

Ruffian2 is not called something like Ruffian 23.06.2003 or beta ruffian or
ruffian experimental version that suggest that it is not tested enough so people
could not know that it was not tested enough.

Situation with free versions is different because people do not pay for them.
professional behaviour is first telling people correct information about what
they get.

I can be only sorry that instead of trying to learn for the future to give
correct information you disagree with Jose.
