Of course, and I completely agree. But the point is that the vast majority of customers probably don't understand this. They pay their money and the tickets gets issued.
Regarding this particular OTA, I thought it was quite reputable. Their is always a risk with booking through a travel agent, but you can't be 100% sure even when you book directly with the airline!
