You hit the nail on the head..........

I have the Road Holding kit installed on my 2000lpt and feel it is a great improvement. However, one of its biggest benefits was that the kit previously cost less money than simply buying and installing a set of 4 high quality dampers.
The kit prices have jumped to the point where new aftermarket dampers are less costly, potentially better quality, and aftermarket dampers are generally regarded as being longer lasting than the Sach brand Aero dampers in the Road Holding kits - particularly the rears.
Yes the kits still contain new springs and new sway bars, but if you don't need or want these parts, the high kit cost is no longer attractive. Plus, installing any new front swaybar is a major PITA!
