Price of key codes

Prices of key codes keep going up.  Why do people tend to order codes from a "code" distributor instead from the manufacturer?  The answer is simple, most require LSID.  Majority of locksmith are not part of that group.  I also know many who are part of LSID but do not want to order codes as it requires filling up paperwork and getting a lot of info from customer....headache!!
