I agree with you. But the "professional complainers" on this forum (this small forum) have pretty much beat, quartered, digested, [censored], beat that, quartered, digested, [censored], etc... that horse for so long that I hope Bethesda gives them their cake. Then we'll all bite our nails in anticipation for the next demand that spews forth from those who will never be pleased.
If it breaks the game for you, either find a workaround or quit playing it. I've been gaming since around 1983 or so (from Atari 2600, to Commodore 64, to NES, to...). That was the basic rule. I always came across a feature I was annoyed by, but if I wanted to keep playing the game because it was interesting based on its other merits, guess what I'd do? I'd continue playing it and ignore the annoying feature... and I'd have fun (imagine that)! I think gamers are spoiled now, especially the younger ones who haven't grown with the industry. It's like a teenager today would mock and complain about having to roll down a car window manually because they'd never seen a car that doesn't have electric windows.
Smackdown vs Raw games have had the option to turn off the finisher replays since the PSOne era.
Hell I even think you could turn off the replays in the N64 THQ wrestling games if you wanted.
So wondering why a feature that has been around since the 90s isn't in a game that was released in 2011 isn't all that strange, especially a forced feature.

Same of us do.
Some of us have also actually witnessed how gaming has improved. Asking for a toggle for a kill cam in a single player game is not far fetched in the least.
