It's to combat theft. Theft is a huge problem in retail. People will pick up several big ticket item and just simply leave, as most employees are told not to stop them. It's very common for many stores to only keep a few highly targeted items on display. Where I work, we only keep a few rechargeable batteries for power tools on display, as they have a high price-to-size ratio and are a favorite of shoplifters.
