It is just the usual buyer beware...lessons for kickstarter creators
Kickstarter will die because most people don't understand what Kickstarter is. People get pissed when the creator doesn't deliver, but fail to realize exactly what you pointed out—you aren't buying anything when you fund a Kickstart project. You are basically an investor with no upside other than some swag or a free product, should it ever be produced.
