Why do 3/4 of Opera aria compilation CDs start with "O mio babbino caro"?

Seriously, I know it's a common song and good for beginners (in my studio you started with that or "Caro mio ben")...but really, who needs 8 recordings of it?? I think my favorite is the one that has it labeled "O mio bambino caro". She's singing to her father about a boy she wants to be with, not to a baby.

Oh, and Pavoratti, I'm on to you with your Opera collection. Does every disc NEED "Nessun Dorma"??? Yes, it's a pretty song, and you sing it OK, but once again, I don't need 8 recordings of it...especially when all of them are of YOU.
