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 actually make left-handed nibs to alleviate this issue. Fountain pens are truly the S-tier writing tool.
