Why According to some Turntable extremists Pitch Control and Direct Drive is Sacrilege?

Why shouldnt perfect direct drive speed and pitch control be part of an Audiophile turntable system. Not having pitch control is like missing a stereo mono switch.
Every high end turntable should have pitch control.

Turn the ESP on and your Discman will never have that issue.
