Maineville, OH | I think it is indicative of a trend by companies to artificially inflate the value of their products with no opportunity to customize. It's everywhere now. From text messaging on cellular phones, more programs included in Windows, television programming packages, value meals, etc. You can no longer pick what you want because these companies have found that if you are given your choice, you will exercise it. That means less money for them. So they inflate the prices of individual products and services in a very precise fashion to make the bundle / package / value deal seem like a better deal.
To me, the bigger issue is that this mentality creates a lot of waste. From wasted food, packaging, consumers money, wasted resources to deliver television and other services. Well people are catching on, and that bubble will burst someday.
