Can someone explain this to me ?

That is a damn good question.
They don't want to get "reamed"?
Decent ones do. I remember loading a full ream in each tray on 4000's.
Other printers have a 250-page capacity, that's 1/2 ream...

Yeah, most of the bigger HP's hold 500 sheets (a ream) per tray and smaller ones I'm guessing only hold a half ream to keep their footprint smaller?

There are certainly plenty of printers that can handle 500 sheets, but most of them are industrial strength HP, Canon, Brother, Xerox, Konica, etc. Most of the printers I'd consider as "consumer level" printers are really targeted at people who don't print much.
Most hardware manufacturers seem to be in a race for the bottom where quality is concerned. Some of the cheapest printers on the market have 30 to 90 day warranties. A lot of these printers would be lucky to live long enough to print 500 sheats.
Some are cheaper to replace the entire printer than to replace the ink/toner, less bother anyway.
And that's true even when you consider most printers don't even ship with full cartridges.There's some of that old HP hardware like LJ400's and 4100's that you can keep running until the end of time with very low costs. That's also true of Canon and Brother. On the other hand, have you tried to maintain any of Xerox's stuff lately?
There are a lot of mechanics involved in feeding paper. The less paper the less mechanics required and the cheaper the printer and less chance of it going wrong.
I have a printer sitting behind me that takes thousands of sheets of paper and it's air fed.
