I didn't say it was logical, or that I want them to do that. I said that IS the reason they are not doing it.
The reason you choose not to sell something that people want to buy, especially when there is no possibility of shortage, no cost to create because the item already exists, is to create an atmosphere of scarcity in a world of infinite. Since they can give out unlimited of the items and no longer have to pay the designer, they fear people will think they should be cheap. By making some things that even money can't buy, people get the idea that they need to buy something as soon as it comes out. To them, it is much more important that people are sad they can never get the CBH so that they buy the next limited time item before it goes away and enjoy whatever free limited time items they get.
Yes, I also agree that simply making limited time items cost more the next go around is a far more rational thing to do than never sell it again. But you want a reason why they refuse to sell something that costs them nothing, and that is THE reason, the ONLY reason.
