For us who have read the books it is a loss but think of all those people who tried reading the books and never got past the first few chapters all this could be very confusing. Besides sometimes the exact quotes can be longwindede and for all those people who have such a short attention span, they could never handle it.
What I did like was that PJ took some of Tom Bombadil's quotes and made the other charcters say them. This way Tom Bombadil is still kinda in the movie.
