Animators themselves are probably the ones crippling the rigging paradigm, not the other way around ;) That's half the reason. The other half is that 90% of TDs out there who would struggle to find their arse with both hands tied behind their back and an anatomical atlas open on the Gluteus Maximus page taped to their face.
Maya, in small part, is responsible for having formed that generation of hacks with MEL and a number of other factors, but all in all I strongly believe the people are to blame for the state of things, not the software houses. There is no user base more resistant to change in the whole industry that I've ever seen than the coupling of animators and "riggers" who think scripting a blend is the height of technical achievement.
