Why is using disposable pens still common practice? (self.askbeehaw)

Why not buy one decent pen "shell" and then just buy the plastic tube with the tip and the ink afterwards?

I know many companies use pens for marketing but still, they could apply this too and also stand up for the environment while still do marketing.

They aren't cheap, but I have been very happy with pens from tactile turn. They have a newer aluminum line that are a bit more affordable, and they all take regular pen refills.

I have a few cartridge pens which are nice but the tactile turn pens are a better balance of convenience for me.
