Am I alone in this rather radical stance?

I agree with you. If you get compensated for not having the pieces, there's
not much more to complain about. If you know in advance that you can call CA

And maybe they'll offer a discount out of the goodness of their hearts. If
they do that, then I don't really see a problem with taking that and also
getting the pieces from Lego.

If Lego Direct turns out to be everyone's dream, and all parts are available
for order from them in quantities of one, then it'd be pretty reasonable to
ask for a discount equal to (or perhaps slightly more, for the trouble) the
price to order the missing pieces.
