While I agree people like the extras, I doubt that all would be too
happy about the way they're done (convoluted menus, hidden items,
mystery navigation, etc.).

I don't think much of marketing surveys, they're either skewed to
present the desired results, or just stupidly done.  I'm quite confident
that if people were asked if they'd like the first press of the play
button to just play the movie, and the menu button could let them do
everything else, that'd be popular.  Most especially if you asked them,
too, if it was annoying having to work through a disc like most force
you to, currently.
