Before TV there was radio. Early radios typically required a set-up (or set) of 3 pieces...an outdoor antenna, the detector (radio) and headphones (there were no speakers back then).
It is simply a carry over from the early days of radio.

It may just be one item, but it is compiled of a lot of different pieces.

because when the first one was delivered the man said

And the lady said "Set it right there"
