Because they won't have enough money left over for groceries.
How could offering an extension to a wrist bracelet that was created before the launch be a "hassle"?They already know how to shorten and extend it. Done deal before the watch ever appeared, no hassle.
What a silly statement.

Yay, now I can finally follow through on my plan to become morbidly obese without giving up my Apple Watch Sport!!
I know you're joking and I totally agree that watch bands cost more than they should. That said, IF the watch really was able to slim a 500 pound person down to 300, then it'd be saving them a LOT of money. They could buy extra links instead of "get slim fast" supplements; and they'd be saved the money they were spending on medical bills (a lot of heath problems if one is that overweight); they wouldn't have to buy a "breather" device to make sure they don't choke/suffocate in their sleep, or a mobility scooter; and they'd never again have to buy a second seat on a airplane. In short, if an AW can actually help someone slim down like that, then it's worth every penny, extra links included. And this person would end up with more than enough money for groceries left over.

AngerDanger, has anyone ever told you you're running the risk of making far too much sense for this place?
Why? What do non-obese people get for free at the Apple Store?
Exactly!
It could get a bit weird talking to your crutch when you get a phone call though!
...and if you had a 34" waist it would cost you around $830 in link kits!
Now I'm just envisioning someone hopping up on a checkout counter and humping the credit terminal trying to use apple pay. My mind can't unsee that :-O
Two words: wrist detection.
It will be interesting to see the geniuses who actually try that (I am fairly sure some people will actually do that) cutting holes in the front of their pants to achieve skin contact for the Apple Watch. And then they'll wonder why the heart rate detection doesn't work anymore. Aside from the back pain from having to bend over every time you actually want to look at your watch.
The good news for apple is for what they charge for the watch and it's accessories they don't have to sell that many to make a nice chunk of change. I mean most things Apples sells are overpriced and fine it's a luxury electronics brand but it's the watch and especially the bands are ridiculously priced. Especially the bands.
I think many here agree that 101.6mm is the perfect size.
for those too lazy to calculate it, that's 4-inches. Like the former iPhone screens.
I'm a woman with small wrists and can't even fit the Link Bracelet with all extra links taken off, I wear the small sports band on the second to smallest hole and can fit it on the smallest hole, if the milanese loop were just 1cm(maybe even less) longer I wouldn't be able to wear it. I could definitely argue that Apple is catering to people with smaller wrists, I just think they are catering to the average person.
I'm thinking more of a Chewbacca bandolier....
I didn't know Apple used Watchdots for their promotional images! 
EDIT: Apparently light reflects like this. Who knew.
