Well in Albert Heijn 250g of the AH brand butter is €2,39 while 500g of the AH brand margarine is €0,75, with ~35 J seats and with the small butter having something like 10g that would save them circa €2,82 per flight, one can't dismiss that.

On a more serious note though, during a recent CPT-AMS flight they did serve butter, the rest was indeed very much subpar.
