It's how that place works. You want quality, you pay extra. You want generic, you pay less. They fail to realize they'd boost over-all sales and make more money in the end on combined DVD and blu-ray sales by doing as you suggest, because short-term the blu-rays wouldn't make as much instantly. Also, these new DVD covers - most of them are cool, but a few are using season 1 photos (you can tell by the hair and uniforms) as their basis and it ends up looking dumb.
