who would buy 18-55? people who get the body alone have other plans and probably want the 18-200 or 270 anyway, or primes.
Even with an 18-270, I'll come back from vacation with several thousand shots. An extremely high(97/98) % of them are 18-24 mm. The next highest % is 270. stops.
It's sort of like buying a laptop with 2G of ram when you'll probably want/need 8G. If you're on a budget ( and a kit lens is basically a budget lens) that laptop will work until you expand your budget or figure out what you need, Especially if it's your first laptop/DSLR.
Or wait for a body only deal.
and dream of taking pictures.
