The only justification I can see if that they're trying to let people see the face behind the game. As for the content, I too found it a pain to find, so I put together a site that groups it all together, if it helps: http://crwth.org/wizards/ I think your comment on the video Ask Wizards is verbatim to what I said to my D&D cohort.

Hack n' Slash is good now and then but not for the entire game. D&D itself seems to be more and more tilted toward loot whoring and leveling up and less like it's original incarnation of plot lines, roleplaying and storytelling. It's expansion books used to be more about backstories and cool things to do and now they're all filled up with statistics and weak points. The DM the group I played with even started characters at level 10 because he "doesn't like all that weak goblin stuff".
