It's because the things you don't want wouldn't sell if they were separate items, and those are the things which justify the large incremental price. I mean only an idiot would pay extra for wheels that cut the range by 15% unless it was bundled with other things.

They think they can upsell you to buy a load of things you don't want. In this case though, that greed cost them a sale.
