Well, I feel your position but that's only half true or less. It makes no money for the shipper/seller, it goes to the carrier and ANY argument that the carrier isn't forced in to a laundry list of regulations is bunk and the penalties for even a small error are approaching ludicrous.

Perhaps a more valid and focused complaint is that the same primers, each seated in to otherwise empty brass is NOT a hazmat while boxes or cases of them are, but if you think the carrier does nothing whatsoever, you are absolutely wrong.
