That's generally the way bike companies do things. It gives brick and mortars the competitive advantage, as well as keeping brand value at a certain level. Same reason why you don't find different prices on current model Trek bikes without Trek's approval of a discounted price. Also, I can't imagine dealers being too keen to share their pricing structures with you, assuming you're talking about cost, rather than MSRP/MAP.
