If Blizzard had decided to do what you said, it would still be the same thing for the people who want to play the protoss campaign since they would be forced to buy all 3 titles because each had a part of the protoss campaign.

And putting it the way you suggested does hurt the story: fragmentation hurts. Thus the ending of SC2's singleplayer would likely leave you cliff hanging, and so would the first expansion.

Fragmentation hurts... and you don't realize that having 1 race's story is a much bigger fragmentation than having 10 missions each and ahve a nice ending but with a fe loose ends to expand upon? And it won't be the same since they'd be able  to play the Protoss from day 1 of the first SC2 release, not 2 years from it.

You're assuming that all 3 campaigns will have nice story breakpoints exactly 1/3 and 2/3 through them.  Or would you have Blizzard rewrite the entire plot to fit that model?  I'm sure they wouldn't have to compromise the story at all.  

Just because shio's a fanatically rabid Blizzard apologist doesn't necessarily make him wrong. 

 

From what I hear they aren't even done with the Terran, much less thinking about the Zerg/Protoss, meaning if they don't have anything actually set and it's subject to change, therefore they won't need to change anything. On the other hand, if they finish an entire race's story all 3 of them will probably feel disjointed since as they said there won't be any cliff-hangers. An even worse scenario would be if it's all the same story just from a different point of view. At least if they did the 3 races in all 3 releases everyone would get a go.
