This is annoying, but I think part of it is that manufacturers demand that retailers don't visibly price their goods below a certain value. That's part of why some sales will just list "$50 off" and not mention the full or sale price in the ad. Still bullshit, but not the retailer's fault.

The retailer still accepted the terms. They don't have to do that.

They do if they want to be an authorized reseller and get the merchandise through official channels so that their customers get the manufacturer warranty and so that they have the margins to offer a deal at all.
