Many industries bundle things to cost less than the individual parts together. This customer wanted to split two things in to one half and one half. But when the bundle was split, it didn't cost one half and one half.

My local auto shop bundles an oil change and tire realignment for less than the two added together. If I only want the oil change, I pay the oil change cost.

Read the rules and maybe next time you won't be complaining on a website.

This is the most ridiculous argument I've heard. For sake of clarity lets play out your example.
Assume oil change + tire realignment costs $40.
Oil change individually may cost 30 and tire realignment 20. So if you buy individually the cost will be higher than the bundled product. But under NO circumstances will the auto shop charge MORE than 40 bucks for a portion of the bundle when the bundle itself costs 40.

I get the whole point of bundling products/services. What I dont get is - why is the cost of just ONE product (Not all products purchased individually) greater than the whole bundle. This is against traditional economics/pricing.

However, I also get the point of "contract of carriage". I know that they have explained in their rules these things. That said, it is still unfair and can only exist when airlines are colluding!
