Perhaps if you're talking D&D specfically (though obviously your last part applies to almost all of them). There are a lot of games where a single corebook is all that's needed, and most non-corebooks are player-facing.
This is the D&D5e forum.
In some cases, because the other books help sell more PHBs. That doesn't mean it makes sense to print as many of them as PHBs.
Just as some customers help sell books too.
 





That doesn't make it right. 8f anything that's a strong argument against big business.

That argument quickly goes beyond the scope of this website.

But, we also return to the same point - in keeping to the food analogy, nobody is making you eat in big chain restaurants.

And "but everyone is talking about the big chain restaurant, and that's annoying," is a little weak when you are actively engaging in a space devoted to the big chain. Like, it says it there at the top of the page.

The people who do like the big chain should be able to expect to go into a venue devoted to discussing its offerings, and not have to worry about offending someone who doesn't like the chain.

"I walked into the discussion about pineapple, and all they were talking about was... pineapple. It was kind of annoying."
