Its my understanding that Lego is okay with that since they view the
instructions to be something they DO indeed want consumers to be able to • get a
hold of.  Why they don't set up a scans and parts server of their own is
anyone's guess, but its still a good idea.

How many times has one wondered whether a set does indeed have some
interesting part where only having the instructions scans or the set itself
would ultimately reveal the truth of it?

I am not trying to tell anyone what to do -- but provided Lego doesn't • care;
why the self-imposed restriction when there is a benefit to be had from • making
the scans available instead?

Frankly, I do see it as a kind of advertising for sets that I might not
otherwise buy...

Exactly. If Lego has a problem they will let it be known. At the very least,
how about some 1998 scans? www.brickshelf.com still says no scans after
1997.
