Because if they doubled the chocobo saddlebags for free, the server would have to deal with an extra 70 slots for every player.

Let's assume a server has 10,000 characters. A free saddlebag increase means the server has an increased load of 700,000 slots. Now, if only 1,000 of those characters would be going for the premium app, that'd lower the amount of saddlebag slots to 70,000. Keep in mind, these are randomly picked numbers.

As much as I dislike the premium app, there's still a clear reason why inventory slots often end up behind an additional fee.
