I guess I miss most of this problem because I just never open the preset browser. I just use the drop down and go to the stuff I know I own.

I'm the same, I don't bother with presets in Amplitube and never have. Their presets are just a tacky marketing tool, nothing more. I think I looked at them once when I first bought it, then never touched them again. To be honest though, I don't need presets when dialing in a guitar tone. Except the ones I make myself for convenience. 
 
Guitar Rig is a different matter. It's a fully featured effects rack as well as an amp sim, and I use it all the time for things other than guitar. So it is kind of fun to go through the presets and see what they sound like on, for example, horns or vocals. And since I have Komplete, there's nothing in those presets that I don't have. 

No matter what plugin I buy I always check out the presets...and pull them up, when appropriate, for "starting points" on tracks and busses. That said, I have zero problems at all with just creating settings from scratch with almost any plug I use. To me, while I love and actually use presets, they are just sign posts as to what might be used on a given instrument or buss. YMMV.

i wouldn't know because i don't come across it as i own everything available for both products

This ^^^^

Feel the same about Addictive Drums. Way too much screen space devoted to promoting products you don't own. At least they do make available some limited presets with the adware, but still, I find it annoying that the icons for products I don't own are displayed as prominently as those I do own.

I'm kinda the same as Doghouse. But if I pay for presets don't make it frustrating to use them.

Bought Revalver 4 - quickly got annoyed with the "oh, you need to buy *this*, too" nickle-and-diming and gave up on it.
 
Bought BIAS FX Pro for $199, and at the time it included everything there was to have. Since then, they've added some expansion packs for additional money, but I don't have presets that expect those packs to exist, so not a problem. (I suppose it'd be an issue if I used their Sound Cloud thingy, but I don't.) 
 
Would have liked to see them make me a "hey, as an FX Pro user, here, have all 3 expansions for, say $79 or so", rather than $50 each. If only for the 'completionist' collector thrill of "having it all". I don't need them, and $150 for all 3 is irritatingly close to the price of the (far more useful to me) product itself, so...
 
Briefly looked at Amplitube when I read about their Fender 2 pack modeling lesser-known Fender amps of the '50s and '60s. Downloaded the demo and played with it a bit, but could see the "insert more money here" game that soured me on Revalver. And wasn't so enamored of the modeling or the UI that I wanted to spend $499 for the "gimme all the crap and stop screwing with me" bundle. 
 
Anyhow, I'd say BIAS FX Pro is the least annoying of the guitar packages I've seen. For what that's worth.
