Put yourself in the supermarkets shoes.
They buy in veg. Half of it is unable to be sold because of legislation and has to be binned. They then have to increase the cost of the good stuff. If they let people take the poor stuff, it is good enough to eat, they wouldn't need to buy the good stuff so then they would have to throw away the good stuff as it deteriorated. They would make a loss and next time they won't buy veg. Then you would be complaining there is no veg.
Supermarkets have to make a profit to survive. They can't just take money off you like the government does at the point of a gun.
