I own a Blu-Ray player, and I've never had any of these issues.
Granted, that may be because its a PS3. However, last I checked the PS3 was the most popular DVD player.
No titles yet have been encoded with ICP, which reduces image quality on non-HDCP TV's. I've never heard of a player not wanting to work with SPDIF. If it has the port, why wouldn't it be supported? No, you won't get 7.1 HD Master Audio with optical out, but that's a limitation of the hardware. Besides, if you have a stereo that does 7.1 Master Audio, it has HDMI. End of story.
I will admit that the shifting spec is stupid. However, at this point in the game, it's all early adopters, and the vast majority of them can handle tech talk.
