Thank you. Cute question. caused me to chuckle at least. Not to sound sarcastic but we can't "play" a lightbulb. Actually the issue is more about just the packaging. It's light weight for a bulb and we should assume they are fragile anyway. It probably would't matter much if they were packed in foam, one might still drop one taking it out of the box.
The GOOD news is that CD's are pretty much going to go the way of the 8 tracks at some point, especially since the advent of MP3's etc.
My issue with music and most especially on a CD/Album/Cassette, is that I'm very selective and usually don't want or need the other 13 tracks.
Regarding packaging in general however. That business is as large, albeit sometimes subtle, as what products go into the packaging. One of my least faves is anything packed in clear plastic that I have to slice through to get to the product; hence possibly voiding any ability to return it (as fine print states ) in ORIGINAL condition.
Good Q though.

Manufacturers make it so hard to get into a CD because of sensitivity of the disc (not theft). Once opened, the disc quality begins to deteriorate from everything it comes in contact with. Even airborne particle can damage the CD as well as the player its played on.
Light bulbs are packaged so that they can be easily removed by someone on a ladder, or in some other dangerous setting.

They way they package light bulbs always did seem a bit stupid.

More people trying to steal CD's than lightbulbs.
