Why, after all this time, do creators still sell things you have to rez on the ground to unpack? Is there some really important secret reason this has to be done? I'm talking new things, not just old items that haven't been updated in forever.

Force of habit, even if a folder of contents can easily be delivered with a single inventory function.

The only reason I could see would be if it contained no-copy components.

HUDs and attachments require a script, configuration and some amount of additional work, especially if you're someone who likes to invest in the presentation (I've seen some impressive "add me" designs).

A storage box only requires a prim, and optionally a graphic.
