It may have been an addition, but to be honest they probably shouldn't have bothered. For example, MM7 had the shop but almost every single item in the shop was also hidden somewhere in some level if you followed certain clues and had rush dig them up. I much prefer that way of doing things to just running through a level and quiting until I get the bolts or chips I need for something.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
