Having BTDT, I think I can comment.
It's about not being comfortable directly putting money into the pocket of the enemy ... or alternately just a general asshat. This is just one of the personal things that can color your feelings about a transaction - same as with getting unwarranted attitude from a sales clerk or annoying telemarketing calls from a company,etc.
Unfortunate reality is that it's easier to tolerate pyschologically when there's more degrees of separation between your dollar & the end recipient so it's tougher for the small developer's, but that runs both ways since a lot of us can probably identify cases where we've spent more with someone we liked than we might have otherwise.
edit to add: I think I must have largely skipped over some drama here, as I'm only vaguely following what this has to do with this thread (I think I got it now, I didn't until the last page or so), so consider my answer to be entirely general in nature.
