This idea is certainly compelling from some perspectives but isn't there a lot of evidence that most people hate being nickel and dimed (which is literally what this proposal is) and in basically every instance have preferred purchasing goods in bundles?

The psychological aspect is definitely a hurdle, and can be viewed as a transaction cost in itself. I wonder if there's any practical ways to reduce it.

There might be, but I'm not optimistic.
