Stupid logic (programmers logic)

I can drop files onto Quicklaunch buttons, so why not taskbar buttons? And why the patronising admonishment instead of just DOING WHAT I WANT OR DOING NOTHING AT ALL?

-It must have been easier to code If(drop onto taskbar button) Then(display annoying and insulting window) than it would be to code If(drop onto taskbar button) then(open dropped item in application)
I could understand if it was an oversight, IE dropping files onto taskbar buttons did nothing at all. But someone thought about it and decided that their way was so good, it was to be the ONLY way.
Grrrr...

$40k of software? Egads man, I hope that's work related! I can understand about the processing power though I suppose. I'm still not sure about Apple's move to using Intel chips in the future. The purist in me shivers while the geek in me wants the speed.
