Why? It's a different product.
When you bought the singleton, it was worth to you whatever you paid. A similar rationale applies to buying an omnibus down the line. I can cite factors that might be in play, including that prices can be highest at first and then drift down as reflected in publishing an omnibus later and your already having consumed the content. Or that having discrete editions might be more valuable than having just one. Or the reverse, of course.
But the bottom line is, if you think you're being taken, then don't buy the omnibus. That'll show 'em.
