That's because Nero and Roxio no longer try to market a streamlined product for burning buffs. Most of the people burning things these days have no clue about how it works and expect the burning software to do more than burn a disc. For example, burning a DIVX movie they downloaded to a disc they can play in their DVD player. They drag the movie onto the project in Nero and expect it to figure out the details, like converting the video/audio, settting up the disc layout and burning an SVCD disc. Roxio takes this a step further by monitoring and popping up the instant you put in a disc and attempting to figure out what you want to do with it.
Half of the tools that come with the full Nero package are things like a media center, media sharing server, photo manager, sound/video editor and numerous other apps that have nothing to do with burning a disc.
Tools like MagicISO or PowerISO have become the tools for people who just want to burn discs and work with image files. Nero and Roxio have become some sort of massive media suites that also happen to burn discs.
