It's not an artificially created choice. It's a market created choice. People won't pay for software, so the privacy-enabling options are put together by a few volunteers with no funding.
We are not talking about a lot of money in most cases. I usually compare it to coffee shops. People will pay $10 at a coffee shop for a latte and a snack, but they refuse to pay even $5 for a software app or game that they might use every day.
