Because it makes sense from a logistics and cost point of view.

taking the remote out of the pack would reduce the cost by only a
couple of £/€/$. It would also mean they needed another pack for the
remote which would probably cost £/€/$20 on it's own, if not more
because of the logistics and non BoM (Bill of Materials) costs.

don't think about it as being forced to buy a battery and a remote, you
buy a battery and get a free remote. for those just looking for a
remote, there are other options, all the other Squeezebox remotes will
work, so will a harmony or even a universal remote that has Squeezebox
codes or a JVC DVD player mode (this is legacy support because the very
first player, the SliMP3, came with a universal remote and the server
responded to JVC DVD codes).
