Shops like you described for B2C markets existed in the past. All voted out by wallets.

I have trouble understanding how much cheaper it is to simply not sort objects into the right categories.

I guess it must be significantly cheaper at scale. But it's such a waste of time for everybody it's infuriating.

Can't rule out this hypothesis that hiding information might be driving sales more than it would save expenditures, e.g. fear stimulating compulsive buying.

Cheaper for who is the question. Businesses now increase profits by externalizing costs.
