To add on to what you said, I believe the designer forgot one more thing. From what I remember (haven't looked in awhile), these companies are on paper thin margins. They try to shave every last cent they can. By switching to the visuals that the designers came up with, it would add to an increased ink cost. This calculation won't even try to be accurate, but rather for argument purposes. The design that has the large black rectangle of black could add an extra 8in^2 of black printable ink. okay... I'm too lazy to look this up, but let's say they print 20m of these a year, the ink cost would add up for that redesign.
