That has nothing to do with a conspiracy, it's just cheaper. If they can get away with it, they'll do it.

Reality is, most people give relatively thought to their purchases. They just buy "the new iPhone" or pick an Android that seems reasonable to them. And even those who do ostensibly care, often enough only care about specifications. More cores, more nits, more camera.
