Why would you? I don't know any other city metro that penalises people
for buying a normal ticket. If you know otherwise then please tell us
where.

Amsterdam - a single fare paid on the tram costs more than if you buy
a 15 or 45 strip strippenkaart.
This is true of any town that has strip tickets.

But it can't be considered to be a 'normal' ticket because
it's not possible to make seven and a half journeys.

Of course it's a normal ticket


But its not a normal single ride ticket.


Some places don't do simple single ride tickets, just timed tickets -
Poznan has a range starting at 10min validity, 60 or 90min are fairly
common.
