Nah probably overworked Chinese, expecting it to go on a hanging display on dollar stores (or whatever they're called where you live, they're 1,99 here). That kind of crap is ALWAYS packed in that hateful blister thing that destroys your hands more than anything, and I really don't get it why they write so much on it, it's like they're trying to convince you it has a ton of features because ton of text and ton of air on the package.
A few years ago the Kmart in my town closed. During the liquidation sales, they brought out all the junk that's been sitting in their stock room for years. I swear this was one of the items they tried to sell.

Just figured I'd mention this as I did help design retail packaging at one point in the dim distant past for 3.5" floppies (yes, that long ago), we were required by retailers to make our packages larger than this box, because "loss prevention"... which always seemed silly to me, as if the item is small enough to fit in my pocket, a quick flick with a pocket knife and I have the tiny item...
The package is bigger to take up more shelf space so you see it and it gives the impression of added value. The reason it's thick is so it can be set on a shelf or hung on a hanger. Most importantly it was probably a format or shape the packaging company already had or the equipment was set up for reducing costs of creating a custom one. They probably sold one with a wall charger or power bank or something so no need to make different ones.
Everyone: we need to produce less waste and cut back on emissions or we will run out of resources, create unnecessary landfill and our air will turn to junk China 2005: * ears plugged * Did somebody say low quality iPod accessories?
Pretty sure they based their packaging off the mould template sitting around at their partner that either had the cheapest quote or the easiest cad file to add their connector shaped imprint thingies to... cheap manufacturing is its own culture beyond just its own industry lmao

Just gonna point out (that I love your content and) the RiO Forge had a receiver, whereas the iTrip mini allows you to PLAY tracks off of your iPod Mini on nearby radios and devices with receivers, as opposed to receiving incoming radio broadcasts.
