How come the grocery store sells meat in a styrofoam tray with saran wrap? Why not just vacuum seal it?

Meat that's packed from the factory is vacuum sealed.

because vacuum packing is for very long term storage and most people use meat within a few days of buying it, and if you throw it in the freezer like it is, it will last 6 months or more as long as the plastic does not get punctured.
