lemme think: I already have wireless mouse, I only need to start/pause playback. Why should I waste money when I already can do that in almost every other video player? To answer your subsequent question - so why I'm /trolling/ about vlc? because it is great software and i would love that it's even better.
The better question would be "Why does he NEED to buy a remote for such basic functionality?" because lets be honest folks, he's not asking for some incredibly complex uberrare function here, just a simple 'click the movie and the movie stops" which frankly ever other MP I've seen does.
I know that when I'm working on multiple PCs (which is quite often) its a heck of a lot easier to just click the mouse instead of reaching over for the keyboard. this is a problem I've noticed with a lot of freeware, some developer decides he don't like feature X or would rather be working for new thing Y and simply ignores basic usability.

And you do have a few metres long arms to reach for your mouse?
A remote control is only a few euros. Much better option.
