There's an article on Billboard about the rise of this discount trend. Talks about the money labels are willing to lose for certain songs to hopefully benefit from the slash. At the end of the article, one of the label people they were interviewing simply replied "No." to the idea of lowering prices.
It makes sense if you don't think too much on it, but in reality it would cause huge losses. Even with digital sales dying already causing slips in revenue in that department. Doesn't make sense to just rip the wound wide open. Too risky to expect it to turn everything around.
