I believe from my studying up on Spirit, it's a method of behavior modification for travelers to keep costs down.
It all makes for great headlines and for people to complain about fees on an airline they probably actually haven't flown on.
Profits don't lie, people may not like the experience of flying Spirit, but it's a proven fact, they love the ticket prices.
