Yes I see that too, though if they are doing it properly it's about 10 minutes extra work per site, ONCE per title! Smashwords adds Kobo, Apple, Barnes&Noble (Nook) and others, and it uses the same epub and cover upload and same metadata as KDP. In reality they'd add another 20% to 35% just using Smashwords. Google is useless for sales, but it's a free listing and people will download a free edition (start of series etc) from Google. You can't easily or reliably have "free" on Amazon without KDP Select.
