They don't. Can you give an example of an ebook that costs as much as the list price of a hardback or paperback? If a particular retailer chooses to discount a paper book, that's nothing to do with the publisher.
I buy what many people would consider to be a lot of ebooks - 3 or 4 a week - almost all of which are from mainstream publishers, and typically pay about half the list price of the printed book, which I consider to be entirely reasonable. Eg, my most recent purchase was "Monk's Hood" by Ellis Peters. List price for the paperback: £8.99; Kindle price: £3.99.
