If you use these things, you are a bad person and should feel bad.
Korg is a perfect example of why you shouldn't use them. All of Korg's product images have been on rotating sliders for years. When I want to take a closer look at how the controls or I/O ports are laid out, the last place I look is korg.com because there is no way to make the damn things stay still.
Good design solves problems. It does not draw attention to itself.
Not only do I agree with you about these things being bad, but I was having the exact same problem on Korg.com last night. It's very common on music gear websites, and infuriating.
