why do cable internet companies offer discounts when bundling with phone/tv? They offer the bundles cheaper than the plain internet

Question

As asked, often a bundle is cheaper. I know after a year the rates go up but at that point cancel the bundle and keep just the internet.

Do they get government kick backs by offering phone? Is it for compliance? Anyone with knowledge from the policy side of it?

It’s usually to increase the customer retention, although sometimes it just helps get new customers.
