they probably can't

that'd screw it up for everyone
that's just one possibility i can think of

As mentioned above that's a lot of work. Not many people are willing to drain their old oil, pack it up, and drive it to the post office (and pay return shipping). Only the DIYers would be in for this anyway. I doubt my Indy Mechanic would be willing to fill up the old bottles...wouldn't even ask to be honest. Not for $80 of product.
I'm pretty sure FCP doesn't even run into this problem. Otherwise they'd more than likely have a policy where fluids couldn't be returned more than 2-3x per year for the same car.
For something like oil I just don't do it often enough to make a return worth it.
If it were something really hurting them it simply wouldn't be offered.
