Airlines, as in any mass production business, make money by standardising the offer and the price. At some point, someone will probably try and offer fractional pricing related to weight and/or size but the cost of implementing it will be high and be open to more questioning by clients and prospective clients. By sticking to standard sizes/weights/prices, they keep it simple and, consequently, cheaper to administer.
