Bono's voice back in October wasn't that good. Did you hear the first performance of Vertigo? Bono had a pretty tough time signing it, especially the last chorus (though his wavering voice actually sounded pretty damn cool). I think that Bono knew that he wouldn't be able to sing it, so they just played a cut version of it. Bono didn't even sing the falsetto line during the chorus, and the vocal tape played the wrong line as Edge sang the 2nd (last) chorus. I don't think that was TOTP's doing.

U2 does shit programs like TOTP and CDUK because they help inform people who aren't huge U2 fans that the band has a new single out. Said people will be interested, or reminded, buy the album if they don't have it, and might go to a show or something.
Despite your personal feelings of artistic betrayal, music (and specifically its promotion) is as much business as art nowadays, sorry to break it to you.
