It shows that the devs are willing to take advantage of the less keen eyed or a person in a rush. That is downright predatory and evil. Practically a scam.

You might be fine with giving your money to people like that, some people aren’t.

The publishers are probably the ones who made the decision

So what games have you played in the last decade? This is the industry, you might as well complain about predatory concession prices at movie theaters. Is it shitty? Sure. But it's a trap for the ignorant, and frankly I can only go so far to try to protect people from throwing away their money on stupid things.
