They're not intentionally obfuscating anything. You know how much your bill will be before you order. What it costs them is immaterial.
Would you expect a clothing store to tell you what their individual per-unit cost is for clothes you're buying, and to tell you how much money they're charging you for opening a storefront and negotiating with the manufacturer?
