Apples to Oranges my friend. You didn't 'have' to use their shitty overpriced Hard Drive for anything. Sure it was some pile of junk you could buy but you certainly didn't "need" it. It's like any pointless accessory like a Steering wheel or Super SNES Gun. You probably will get minimal use outside of a handful of games from it.
This generation everything is done with the usage of the HDD. This is total bullshit .
I must say one thing though....Does it truly shock anyone? I mean I've said it for quite sometime that MS has milked customers for years. It's so easy to do too. Make a dirt cheap, lower end model and advertise it as it can do 'everything' the others can do. Well then you get your bare bones PoS system home and realize you need to buy their proprietary drive or you can't enjoy a good many things the system offers. Then you look at the pricing of HDDs and it's absolutely outrageously high.
