i think its reasonable that people who sell computer monitors also demand you purchase a computer or other output device from them. Why do you feel differently here? after all, a computer monitor needs a computer or other output device to work, no?

Sure and whoever sells the monitor can sell it in a bundle like that, people will just stop buying their monitor and buy the competition's instead

You can do that with software, too. It just turns out that there's more people who want to bundle their software

In fact, this is what happens in the case of laptop displays
