I think this is exactly what it is however there is a reason why people pay more to fly a full service airline rather than a LCC. I am sure the likes of SQ take pride in providing such an extra service which would in turn provide value to each ticket that they sell and strengthen the importance of their hubs.

NZ doesn't like to liability for an third-party involved, as if they though check your bags they have to take liability for your bags reaching the final destination in one piece. There's an reason why NZ is so profitable, its because they are tight as anything, and will avoid paying for something they don't have to.
It's not what I expect from a 'premium' airline.
