You can make the same argument about food too: buying chicken at Costco is way cheaper per pound than in Whole Foods or Aldi. Are they also penalizing single people? No: buy more, pay less per unit.

You can’t freeze a hotel room.

The hotel also cannot easily split and recombine rooms and beds on demand. They have to decide upfront how many single-person and two-person rooms to build, based on what they perceive the market desires.

Hotel rooms can’t get spoiled.

You can always stay in Motel 6 for $20/night.

In my experience they often already come pre-frozen and room service will helpfully re-freeze them if you set a more reasonable temperature.

What packs do you buy where it is much more cheaper?

Frozen > 5kg or so?
