... I disagree..... exactly what are they "giving" anyone?  They are selling 
an additional lens at a discount, direct, without
dealer profit or distributor markup......

They are making money by selling additional lenses... I think it is 
brilliant!

Giving you something else for a discounted rate so its in effect close to
"at cost" probably is kind of gifting something to you.
They're saying "here's a lens to go with it"
