Now sometimes, this can be a great deal for customers too - instead of spending 1K to get, say 10 plugins, if you can spend $500 more to get 10 more plugins, most of which you actually have an interest for and will end up putting them to use, it's a win-win situation. Manufacturers bundle plugins because it increases sales, that is, it makes customers to spend more money than they would have otherwise. It seems to me as you don't actually need/want to own absolutely every single UAD plugin but rather that your main concern is buying plugins at the best overall price/overall number of plugs ratio, thinking that you'll actually save the most money this way but seriously, you're only going to spend more money. If your primary goal is actually to save money I feel like you're missing an important point.
