Reminds me of when I used to work in a large bookshop. I was occasionally told that the same book a customer was considering was available in town for a few dollars cheaper. Do we price match. No, I'm sorry, we do not. If that person asked about price matching they would usually leave the shop without buying the book. It wasn't my job to tell them about the cost of fuel, wear and tear on their car and the price of parking. I found the rationale weird. Like completely bizarre.
