They do that on purpose, but I don't mind spending money that'll go into the pockets of genious's!
For the extended version there are of course new scenes but it takes a lot of work. More special effect shots were added and Howard Shore had to do a complete new score for it. It should be very cool. I can't wait. I also think it's nice to get something sorta new before ROTK comes out.
