I don't get your argument. Those who are in "choice deferral" and chose online+print in the first experiment ought to have picked the same in the second experiment, but they didn't.

If you make me chose right now between online and print, I need to think which of those suits me better, will I read on my phone? Would I rather have the physical thing and have some rest time from the screens?

If there’s an easy to pick offer bundling the two, I’d rather pay the extra to keep the choice open, that is, to choose later.

But that's not what happened! When the print-only option was removed, people switched to the cheap online-only option. I recommend you re-read the description of the study.
