Honestly, I really see no problem with the studio saying "we worked hard on this film... if you stay and let us take our bow, we'll throw a little something in there for you as thanks." It seems a much better solution than forcing everyone to wait through the credits for the movie to start, which may also hurt the pacing and the build up of the start of the film.

In truth, the way this movie ends, the fade-out idea honestly wouldn't work... the two scenes would be horrible back to back.
I suppose it comes down to a "glass half full" kind of thing... end credits scenes feel completely like extras to me, rather than part of the film that's being withheld.
In any event, I'm sure it'll be on YouTube or something soon enough.
