Just as other appliances sold these days with a motor i.e. washing 
machines, dishwashers...  while digital control may add nice features, 
the noise generated can reduce operator pleasure (or operating hours).

Getting any manufacturer to routinely add filtering (even if under $1), 
won't happen without a lot of customer noise in return.  ;-)
