First off, I don't think Disney need to admit to anything. Their offerings are pretty clear and you either choose to purchase what they are offering or you don't.
For many people, the added bonus of parade viewing with a meal is a nice to have if they are planning to dine at that restaurant anyway. For others, it may be a bit of an incentive to purchase a meal at a specific restaurant that will come with the parade viewing as opposed to spending their dining dollars at a different restaurant.
I'm not sure I agree with just offering a viewing spot for a fee because to me that's a slippery slope to charging for fastpasses. However, I do think it would be nice to bring back parade viewing fastpasses and have those available on top of the dining/parade viewing packages.
