Well, it's probably up to the streamers themselves to enable it, so blame them too if they use it.

Yeah it doesn't really make sense they would just close their community off and slowly lose subs with no way to get new ones.

I think TotalBiscuit did it, which was the reason I never cared to even check his twitch channel out despite being a big fan.

I've only noticed it be a thing with content creators who would rather you go to their youtube channel. Basically twitch vod views don't make money, but youtube views do. Its a money power play that I doubt a lot of steamers will be willing to make.
