Why do you think you get the discount? The discount/cost is subsidized out over 1 to 2 years (depending on contract length).
Phones aren't free and neither are modems (someone has to pay for them). Companies don't just give them to you out of the kindness of their hearts.
The cost of the rate plan covers that discount. Which is why ending your contract early results in the termination fee (they recoup the loss on the phone).

I don't get it, are you disagreeing with yourself?
