Because "decided to milk" sounds bad, but "produced a product that people want to buy" is what I am always hoping companies will do.
Indeed, though to j.p.s.'s point, it would be NICE if they offered the buttons on cheaper models, too.

I'm sure it's true that at one time, from strictly a manufacturing cost perspective, buttons plus non-touch display was cheaper than touch display. With the economies of scale, I'd bet that touch displays are now probably the same price or cheaper in quantity than non-touch, so buttons are going to be an up-charge.
