Lost Girl Season 1 - 3 on DVD

I recently purchased seasons 2 and 3 of Lost Girl on DVD, region 4 for Australia.

While I'm happy to now have seasons 1 - 3 on DVD I'm not sure why there are no special features on any of them.

I'm a special features nerd and while initially it didn't bother me that there aren't any special features, the more I think about it the more annoyed I am about it.

Why am I annoyed, because I know there are special features out there on different versions (regions and formats) of the season sets.

If I want the special features why should I have to purchase a different region DVD set and go to the expense of purchasing a multi region DVD player?

In the technology age where you can download the episodes shortly after they air on TV, I would have thought that when releasing the show on DVD or Blu ray, special features would be a must have on all versions/regions.

Otherwise, what motivation is there for people who have probably already downloaded all the episodes of the show to pay money for the DVD/Blu ray sets when all they are getting is exactly what they already have for free (all be it, illegally)?
