  1. They simply exist but should not be considered "marvelous" because they're just cheap. Wood was plentiful so everything got a (bulky) crate. Even internal logistics suffer when cargo volume is reduced by packaging. That increases the cost of getting those items to depot. Remember WHY the USSR collapsed. It died the death of a thousand cuts of economic inefficiency.

  2. The ISO shipping container standard, palletized logistics and even forklifts are not ubiquitous. This is "break bulk" logistics WWII style.
