We have the most flexible platform, why not have the option of playing with family or friends in the same room? You're not always going to want to go online with random people and some games just work well for playing split screen. Problem with the PC community is they have this stigma that states if it's a console-like feature then it's not something that should exist on PC games at all, where as I am of your mind set where it should be an option.
I don't get this whole stigma of no splitscreen on a computer.
