If you're playing full albums there are so few songs on an album that are as good as the singles that get played on the radio. I bought a lot of tapes and CDs as a teenager and was very disappointment when there weren't more than a couple on the album I liked (most of which were the singles).

My best guess is safety, if you had a heavy load in there the momentum could keep the drum spinning much longer than normal. I'm sure they could add a sensor to check, but that's just an extra cost. So rather than allowing you to open the machine while it's still spinning and possibly injure yourself reaching in, they keep it locked for a few more minutes.
Because it's the type of people they are, and they think everyone is just like them. I worked a corporate job for 10 years and saw a lot of people who made the company their whole identity. Their whole friend group was their co-workers.
