Quoted from o-din:

That's a really good point which begs the question why would any game have drops that don't reset or can't be reset after being knocked down or a bank completed? I have had a couple that only reset after each ball is over and they got old fast.

I see it as a case of originality, that is simply the way the machine was made and to enjoy it as it is.Many modern tables have glitches in the software that owners wish were better but no reason to dismiss the whole game. Some collectors/owners seem to have decided some features found on EM's are "The Best" and hence more desirable.
I have seen this played out on add-a ball VS replay, small flippers against large, Williams chimes VS Gottlieb, etc. I hate this term but will use it in this one instance.
"It is what it is"
In the case of Out of Sight, if the drops are hit with skill in the correct order the score is astronomical, if however the drops are pounded willy-nilly, the original logic of the machine goes out the window, its not supposed to be easy or reset for another try.
