If they start doing that why not eliminate airfares alltogether and simply charge 50 different surcharges such as food surcharge, toilet use surcharge etc. ...you get the picture. All those costs are part of my airfare and therefore, they should not be charged for award tickets. Period.
Folks.... this is the real world. Not alice in Wonderland....
