Why is the price (commerce_price) blocked from being removed from product variation types? [#1906786]

I tried to look for this in the documentation, but I have not found any answer.

I want to define the price of the items on a store, inside the product itself and not the variations, since that is the client's requierement.

I can't seem to remove the field from the variation types and when I try to, the field says it is blocked and cannot be removed. I might be missing something important here, as to why is that field blocked and tied to the variation type, something that I might not be aware.

Is there a way to remove that field from the variation type? Why should/should not do that?

actually the Product Variations are the REAL Products and the Variations Types are the Product types.
and the Price field should be there.

There are some documentation about how those things works within Drupal Commerce, Commerce Kickstart
http://www.drupalcommerce.org/user-guide/products - Drupal Commerce Products Documentation
http://www.drupalcommerce.org/commerce-kickstart-2/products - Commerce Kickstart Products Documentation.

So what are trying here, is to move the Price from Product to Product Display.
