Just opened vitamines, it’s only filled about a fifth. No reason to do so, but it does take up a lot more space. That means: more boxes for storage, more trucks for transport and of course more plastic used. Just… why?

The most obvious answer is shrinkflation. They may have sold units with more pills in them before but economic pressures put them in a pickle: increase price for all or keep price the same and reduce content. It’s possible they had ordered a gazillion of these pill bottles and have them in storage now. They gotta use them. It would be economically and environmentally mad if they put a million of these bottles in a landfill and ordered smaller replacements.
The brand only started about 6 months ago so probably not.
