Its plain old monopolising. They assume because they're the British Broadcasting Company, all television feeds have to go through them.
Even if you just bought a small TV to go with your Playstation or X-Box, you'd pay the fee, because its 'possible to get BBC programming' on the set.
Last time I checked, shops dont charge people for 'being able to buy that porkchop'
