Why are bundle product tier prices a percent value?

Question

My question is not a coding but architectural one.

So for simple products, downloadable, grouped and configurable products the tier pricing uses a monetary value for for each price e.g. 20.59 in what ever currency you are using.

When you start to work with bundle products you see that the tier price is using a percentage discount on the product's base price.

Does anyone know the reasoning behind this?

Answer 1

I think this is, because the price of the bundle product is generated from the simple items you choose, therefore it is most of the time not possible to get ONE price which is used for all combinations.
