I think you need to look up the definition of "bait-and-switch"

By your logic, Windows should only come in 1 version and it should be free, because what if we want/need some feature from Windows Ultimate? Why should we be forced to pay for it when we don't even know if the feature is better than something Linux can provide?

We are offering the import script as a free addition to our Pro features. All our Pro features behave exactly as they are described and it costs exactly what we claim it costs (although vBulletin.org rules prevent us from putting price information here on vBulletin.org, the price information is readily available and easily discerned before any purchase is completed).
We are not obliged to provide the import script and it does not hinder the functionality of our product (Lite or Pro version) in any way, shape or form.

The fact that you or anyone else wants / needs the import script but does not want / need any other Pro feature is sadly just the way things work - sometimes a product appears that is perfect for your needs, sometimes you have to pay extra for other features you don't want in order to get the feature(s) you do want.

To return to my Windows analogue: Say that you need "Virtual Hard Disk booting" and only this feature (from Windows 7 Ultimate) - would you complain to MS and say that this should be available in the Professional version simply because Professional costs less and you want / need this feature?
The response would be that to get this feature, you need to purchase Ultimate.

I hope this clarifies things for you
