They're trying to encourage you to use their service again by saving you money.

I guess they want you to buy more tickets and tell your friends about the great value you got from a one way ticket! I have no clue, but I always thought that one way was more expensive than round trip!?!

It is a crazy old world.
Sometimes two singles are cheaper than one return.
Sometimes buying seperate tickets for each leg of a journey is cheaper than buying one for the whole journey.
Keeps us on our toes, I guess.

When flights have spare capacity, that is lost revenue. This can be filled by offering deals to people who either want to travel only one way e.g. move jobs: travel one way with no firm plans of a return date e.g. contract assignments, or people with the time to go shopping e.g retirees

the cost can be spread out more evenly amongst all the tickets sold

Sometimes it down't work out that way. When they do that, it's because they likd to offer special discount deals sometimes.
