That's because they (+POS) made a deal with MiLB/PBUC, and not the umpires. We (umpires) were never contacted about our preferences and/or desires. Most of my colleagues at the time were not happy to very displeased with +POS's products/service.
Of course, since I'm no longer a minor league umpire, I cannot speak for current minor league umpires. I can only say that when I was umpiring we felt no need to be "grateful" since we had nothing to do with them becoming the official supplier to MiLB, and most of us did not hide our dislike of their product as compared to other products.
