Ease of design. It would be difficult to build a machine that was able to dispense a single paper since the size/weight changes daily. That, and the hope that people will be honest.

I suspect it has more to do with the fact that no one needs more than one paper. The written word doesn't change so taking a second paper would serve little purpose. Having said that, I've heard a story about a paperboy who would cancel subscriptions (so he'd receive fewer papers and be charged less) then steal papers from the box to deliver to his unsuspecting subscribers. I wish I had been that smart.
