If you don't like an option, don't pay for it.
While it is true that some options that people want are often bundled in a "package", you still don't have to pay for the package.
Oftentimes, there are cheaper alternatives. MUCH cheaper.
For example, you can buy a cloth seat pickup that has power seats, and then get some really nice leather covers for them that fit like a glove, if you really want leather seats but none of the other options which are included in the "package".
Most of those package options are there to increase the profit margins of the manufacturer. They are often the result of focus groups, which are usually quite small and not statistically representative of a lot of buyers.
To each his own.
