Probably it was only added so they could pull this "sike, air in the middle" stunt
I'm also not convinced that the expense of producing the trays and stuffing the bags in this manner is actually cheaper than the cost of just filling it the rest of the way with product and leaving it at that.
Some C-Suite asshole thinks he's getting it over on everybody with this and isn't smart enough to realize that this is a Dick Dastardly Stops To Cheat situation.

I'm about as pedantic as they come, and will argue that it's a separate word now and should be spelled "sike".
Wanna build someone's confidence/excitement? Psych them up, sure.
But for the specific usage that's a bait-and-switch? Sike fits better imho.
