Because that is the way markets work.  Buying in bulk is less
expensive.  "Why should I have to pay more for my motherboard just
because I'm not buying two hundred thousand of them?"

Your logic fails when you consider postage as a penalty.  Postage is
payment for a service.  Pre-sorted bulk mail is cheaper to deliver
than first class, and the postage reflects that.  But you know that.
