On-disc DLC, why?

So, I got into an old argument with a Gamestop employee about downloadable content.  Specifically, it was about the not-so-downloadable kind that you have to buy to unlock from the disc.  At first, this sounds like a really bad idea.  The idea of DLC, at least to the consumer, is that you initially bought a complete game, and the company later creates new stuff to plug into it.  So, why are they now making DLC right on the game disc itself, making you pay to access it, and is it right?
