And I'm not talking about 'free' hacks either. I have bought my share of add-ons (vbseo, gars, gal, gab, vbphotovote, plus others...).
Right now my users are getting used to zoints. Now if vB offers a social networking aspect how will that effect development of zoints (zoints is an example). And because zoints is widely used, will there be a conversion script (once again, zoints is an example).

Very true indeed but I guess in the end, vBulletin is an established company and needs to produce a wider range of features for its forum software if it is to catch up with competitors.
