But what is the principle? It's effectively no different from buying a

You are not penalised for buying one stamp on its own instead. The
price of a book of 12 stamps is 12 times the price of one.

No, but you are penalised for buying stamps rather than machine franking
(which is now a penny or two cheaper).
