Thoughts on the Player's Handbook Included for Pro Subs

I think the title says it all. I am not sure if it has been debated in the past or not so I apologize if I missed it but I just wanted to put this out there.  If we are paying for the sub, which I know gives us all of the access to the the sites great tools, why not include the full set of basic rules for these accounts? I am not asking for disclosure of how much money is earned off of the rule book in any way.  I was simply thinking that the core rules are as important to playing as anything else and it may go a long way to adding more dedicated subscribers if the basics were included instead of making them a manual process to add. That's all.

I'm assuming this is for 5E.  Roll20 doesn't own that content, and it isn't freely provided to them by WotC.  The SRD content is, so that is why it is freely provided to everyone. Speaking for myself here, I hope they don't start paying for proprietary content to be unlocked for everyone like that.  5E (D&D) is huge in the rpg world, but is still usually only 50-55% of the games run on Roll20.  They would be paying licensing for everyone while nearly half the user base wouldn't even utilize it.
I guess that makes sense.
