I think it makes the WebSphere Commerce out of box experience kludgy and frustrating to design around for users and stressed-out consultants and e-commerce newbies at big corporations that hire the consultants and would like to make a recommendation to the guys at the "lab," this mythical lab I keep hearing about in Toronto: hire me to your UX team working on WSC and everyone will be happy: customers get a better out of box experience with lower costs of implementation, better learnability, ease of use, lower costs to support; users find it quicker and easier to use; I get to move to Chinese suburbia in Toronto and do user experience work in retail e-commerce. How about it. Thanks for listening, man.

You can run dbclean to purge the database of old "orphaned" temp address records that are not accociated with orders. dbclean is a must for production sites... it keeps junk/stale data out of the db (while maintaining referential integrity) and it should be scheduled to run off hours and more frequently the higher the volume of orders you have. I prefer to work remote and not travel also.
