Is there any license that prohibits this then? If not, should one be created?

If there was, it wouldn't be open source. The Open Source Definition explicitly prohibits any license that restricts simple bundling [0]:
> The license shall not restrict any party from selling or giving away the software as a component of an aggregate software distribution containing programs from several different sources.
Same with the Debian Free Software Guidelines [1]:
> The license of a Debian component may not restrict any party from selling or giving away the software as a component of an aggregate software distribution containing programs from several different sources.
