Because part of the cost is the flexibility. A non flexible non refundable C costs less to the airline than a fully flexible Y. If the Y PAX does not show up, the airline gets nada. The C ticket fare is in the airline pocket in all cases.

One must account for waste/rejects in the cost calculation of a product or a service.
