Good points, Nick.

Though, let us be honest - domain investors are not the loyal ones :) .. and it is understandable - as using special deals on pricing results in huge savings in renewals for these investors.

The best clients for hosting companies probably are small/medium companies - loyal (don't want to risk loosing a domain when moving these), high renewal rates and understand that a hosting company also needs to make profit on selling domains.. and, domain investors can't care less about the last one :D :D

Well, I would be pretty loyal if I they would offer me good prices and a great bulk-friendly system. I usually leave when the system is buggy.
