I think that's taking it a bit far. The ISPs have a limited supply of bandwidth and do what they need to manage it. The Azureus (and other BT client) developers only do what they need to do to stay ahead of the curve with their product - which is driven by the users. If all users were a bit more considerate of bandwidth limitations (or the bandwidth was their in the first place depending on how you look at it) then the encrytion functionality still wouldn't be in the clients.
