Again, the cost is the same to put all the parts or just the one you need. There's no recycling in china/taiwan, I don't think they even know recycling exists
All the manufacturers have this issue, I've built so many kits that left me with a huge bag of unused parts. It's the downside of making plastic parts, you just have to accept it.
