Sure you might be able to get then to work but are they any good.

Lovely DCP profiles are so simple to produce anyway, why bother with the hacking.

So true...

A couple of potential reasons:

  1. Some people (me included) enjoy 'hacking' just to see what's possible.
  2. Some people (me included) are proponents of the 'time is money' principle. If I find a thing desirable and I find that the price of that thing is lower than the value of the amount of my time that would be required to create a complete replacement of that thing, I'll usually buy the thing rather than making a copy of it on my own. In my case, the value of the amount of my time that would be required to create a complete replacement of the VSCO presets and camera profiles is much higher than the price of those presets and profiles, et voila, I decided to purchase them. YM (and the value of your time) MV.
