There is absolutely nothing wrong with kit lenses, one reason, they sell so good is people continue to buy them, because they work and they work fine. OK, most of them are not the best one can buy, but there are also very high quality kit lenses!! ( like 24-70/2.8L, 24-105/4L, 50/1.2L) and so forth!
I think they sell well because a DSLR is useless without at least one lens. They come up with something that will please most people, make it affordable, and bundle it with the cameras. I don't think that most people will need or want anything else, but if you do, that's available too.
