LinkedIn premium vs iphone discount

Why is asking for LinkedIn premium cheap meanwhile asking for iphone discount is not? Everytime someone on blind asks for LinkedIn premium, they are asked to pay from their pay cheque. Meanwhile people asking for iphone discounts don’t get that hate. If you use a iphone for 2 years, and use LinkedIn premium for 2 years, the discount you get on iphone is far less than what you can save from free LinkedIn premium. What’s up with this bias? Employees get the code/discount for free at both the places. Tc - 320k
