In my eyes this boils down to a powergrab where functionality is reduced  
in order to displace third parties.

Like others I want a cross platform, flexible solution, but more  
importantly there are design, cost and security implications.

For a registry backup with ntbackup there is no change needed, using  
wbadmin requires an infrastructure change: either adding localized storage  
(for keeping one full + incrementals), inefficiently expanding storage on  
the Bacula end (for cycling full backups) or giving machines access to the  
Bacula back end. These have cost, (network) design and security  
implications, any one of which will prohibit using wbadmin here.
