Why do Acer want to rip me off with eRecovery media?

£40 so I can put Acers bloatware back onto my laptop, as I have lost the USB with the backup on. Are they mad? What is the justification for this? 

Is there a way around it? I need it for the purpose of selling the laptop (Acer Nitro 5 ANS515-52 50VR) as it doesn't get used and is practically brand new. So it will fund a PS5

    Quick update, I managed to restore the laptop using an ISO of the factory media from another laptop and a recovery USB I created using Acer Care Centre. I then swapped the sources folders over and followed the normal recovery steps. 

    All working fine now with the acer bloatware
