Can some body tel me the reason why the removed C generation from matlab?

I have always used matlab for signal and image process algorthim devlopment not running the actually program live. Once a working algorithm has been found I concerted to much faster compliers.

Because matlab is so slow it has to be run independly on a seperate C application to have a chance of running machine vision systems. 
Now, I have no problem operating scilab for my work and it costs nothing and the only advatage matlab had was the abilty to generate C code. Matlab has effectly just removed its advantage of an automated method of going from protoype code to useful "real time" use. 
I'd now have to do it manually so why the hell would you pay thousands of dollars for a liceance when it now requires the same work as the opensource application?

Do they actually think it is acceptable to need to install matlab componets on customers equipment? and have the application run far slower?
