Your view on developers and consumer relationships is flawed. They exist because we buy their product, thus our needs come first.
I'd wager more than 1/10 players play on a plasma, for one reason or another. That's many, many millions of dollars. Adding a simple feature such as a HUD opacity fader would be addressing an issue that 1 in 10 may face.
