Edit: So I do see that the two Samsonite pairs that Costco offers —one hard sided the other soft — aren't the same size. The large soft-sided ones are lighter, but they measure out to more than 1cubic foot less internal space, and the weight-to-space efficiency is much better with the hard-sided. A cubic foot less is a meaningful difference, but with the ability to overpack soft sided luggage, I do wonder how much of a difference that end up being…or if you reach the 50 lb airline weight limit before that extra space matters.
Hard sided 27"
14.9 lbs
3.85 ft3 internal volume
3.87 pounds per ft3
Cloth 28"
13.8 lbs
2.75 ft3
5 lbs per ft3

Another edit: I've only been looking at large suitcases (that's all I need right now; I wish they would sell these separately). But you're right about the carry-on size — the hard sided is lighter than the soft sided, at 6.39 to 8.5 lbs. For most that probably doesn't matter since I've never seen enforcing carry-on weights limits.
The hard carry-on shows 2,340 inches of interior volume compared to 2,316 inches for the soft. But that almost certainly isn't a meaningful difference, and the soft might even allow considerably more to be packed than the hard.
hardside + no zipper is > softside + zipper > hardside + zipper
i've traveled internationally with the cheapest hardside luggage money could buy from a no-name chinese company and never had any damage other than scuffing and scrapes.
Even if the hardside "cracks", there is inner lining to protect your belonging and its nothing gorilla tape can't fix forever.
They work out contracts to buy in bulk from the manufacturers or distributors and that may entail selling sets. They place a premium on display spaces and will only carry so much in an area. if they can get a better deal buying the set and their marketing tests shows sets sell better then they will sell sets. If you want singles then go to TJ Maxx.
