There is no need for them to do so other than to make more money.

I think it's funny that in the TV sector many people ask for a-la-carte service and despises the "choose between packages" way of doing things. "Why pay for all those useless channels I don't need?" but when it comes to flights people despise the concept of dividing the packaged flight service into smaller services that people can opt in or out of.
