In mainstream hosting, you should see the horror story about domain names...
A lot of host offer them free if you host with them ... Naturally, nothing is free, it is just built in the price ...
When the client wants to migrate to another host to obtain better rate and/or features, he is informed that he doesn't own the domain name.
He has to buy it back at a hefty premium, or abandon it...
And the clients are in general neophytes when it comes to Internet, even more so hosting...
Now, to get back to the " supposed " original subject and the "answers" , if we were talking about the restaurant business , it could look like this:
- Why do some restaurant charge per plate ( a la carte ) ?
- While some have a " table d'hote all included "
- When some are buffet style ( all you can eat )
- Or even some give the food no charge ( some titty bars here do that )
I can tell you, by experience, that the quality of food decreases as you go down the above list
