And how many times have you decided to buy a game, only to realize that everything was more or less already in the demo, and the actual product had no meat to it? Demos are not necessarily a good thing: The time the developers spent on crippling the demo could have been spent more productively.

Crippling the demo wasn't a mammoth task, and it is not a given that JK would have spent that time in any way you would have considered productive. The most likely effect would have been a slightly earlier release date, or JK watching more TV, it is not like there was a budget that could run out or anything.
