To lock in the freshness to sell in a store.
By vacuuming out most of the air the urchin can be preserved for an extended period of time. Plus when the customer is rummaging through the counter they won't be as likely to be pricked by the spines.
It sounds crazy but people eat them.

You'll be quoting Logan's Run next.

I get that these things are literally dumb as rocks and unlikely to feel pain or fear. That said, it seems pretty f*ed up to vacuum seal a still-living creature into a little plastic baggie.
