I think it's for the right reasons (assuming this isn't a troll).

Viewers in Japan only need to turn on their TV to watch; for the most part Naruto doesn't cost them any more than what they're already spending to watch TV. However outside that broadcast zone the rest of us, to legally watch it, have to wait (4 years!) for an uncut version to watch that costs (in comparison to domestic shows) a lot of money.

Now that Viz wants to make it a similar experience for the English-speaking world, one where you can watch for free (wait a week), or if you wish for an archive buy the DVDs, the niché that DB was filling really isn't necessary.

In one way it's sad, no more HD, but still the company is making a real effort for its viewers and I applaud that.
