The "good" reason is often that the seller can talk the buyer into a higher price for the extra "feature". It can even be higher marginally: i.e. insulation costs $0.50 to manufacture, and they can sell it for $1; adding foil costs an additional $0.15 but now they can charge $1.50. This is common, even pervasive, with consumer pricing.
