Why 12 ounce bags of coffee instead of one pound? (lemm.ee)

Pretty much the title. I’ve noticed lately that more independent and non-grocery roasters will have 12 ounce bags instead of one pound.

Is there a special reason for this beyond, I assume, bringing the price of more gourmet-ish coffee to a price point comfortable for the average consumer?

Also, shout out to King Bean in South Carolina, I love their Capers Blend.

I'm curious. What size bag is standard for specialty coffee in your neck of the woods? I can think of several reasonable sizes (250 g, 330 g, and 500 g) but haven't the foggiest which or if it might be some idiosyncratic number arising from some tradition or other.
