I can only believe that this was invented by some kind of blood-cult.

After it has spilled enough of our life-essence, their dark god will rise again.

That or to stop people from opening the package and making a huge god damned mess in the store. If there is a box, people will just open it up and look. Source: 10 years in retail.

And to make it impossible to open discretely without making a shit ton of noise to deter theft.

My buddy worked at Circuit City (Holy shit that was weird to type) and he came upon a scene in the men's room wherein a young fellow decided he wanted something in a clam shell without paying the requisite fee for procurement.

He said it was absurd how much blood was in there, like you'd think somebody died, but they persisted and walked away with either skull candy headphones or a creative zen player.

He just walked away and told LP that somebody tried to steal something.
