Turbo Tax Premier 2024 desktop - why do I pay additional state download for $40 even if I don't e-file with Turbo Tax

Is this new? 

 

I am on Turbo Tax Premier 2024 desktop version - it comes with 1 state. However I need to download another state (potentially 2 more in fact) but was charged $40+tax by Intuit just to download it. 

 

I though the additional state fee is only charged when I am "e-filing" with turbo tax, not download/prepare the tax return. I saw 2022/2023 article called out this was an error by Intuit and I should be refunded. I am confused... please let me know?
