The price for less durable plastic is 9 cents per unit @ 100,000 units, as opposed to the 14 cents per unit* for a more flexible product that is also nicer to the touch. The customer won't know until they get it home and unlock the secret optical 3D anti-piracy code strip which, as we know, has completely prevented CD piracy. The customer will then have a CD case with a little sticker-remnant goober on the outside, to remind them not to pirate the disk, or value their physical purchase in any way.

*i lied, i don't know the actual costs.
