Last thing first - don't confuse NBC Sports with NBC entertainment - if they were under the same wing, Leno would be doing his show from Vancouver this week.

Looking at a more technical article, you're more right than I am.

It basically says that NBC's extra cameras are mostly "specials", used to provide special effects like superimposing the country flags on the speed skaters' lanes, spotting the longest jumps and so on. Plus the on-the-spot hand-held cameras. Which means it's OBSV which has done a sucky job of camera placement.
