For the same reason drive through ATMs have instructions in Braille.

One kind of something is cheaper to inventory than two kinds of

If you don't inventory non-static bags, nobody gets sensitive parts

Now that makes sense. I imagine that the cost of anti-static vs regular
bags is minuscule when you buy at Digi-Keys volume.
