iPod Touch Should Come With The Same Headsets as iPhones

I guess Apple thinks iPod Touch owners should pay extra to pause music, change the volume or use Siri & FaceTime with a headset, because they left those out of the iPod Touch headset.
If you take a quick look at the iPod Touch page on Apple, they say it includes Apple EarPods, which you may recognize as the headset that comes with the iPhone, but what you come to realize is that the headset is missing the familiar set of buttons on the right side.
Are they trying to force people to make a separate $29.99 purchase of the other headset. Interestingly, Apple doesn't even sell a replacement set without the buttons or microphone. My guess is because nobody would want a set that doesn't include those features, especially customers who just shelled out $200 - $300 for their iPod Touch.
Why does it matter?
Without the buttons or microphone on the headset, you can't pause, skip to the next song or adjust the volume. That's a big hassle for people who strap their iPod on their arm while walking or jogging. The buttons and microphone are also very handy when using FaceTime or Siri, so why on earth would they leave it out?
