Oftentimes there can be no compromise on the specific subject. So the bill is either DOA or just immediately passed without any debate.

Allowing several issues to be passed as a singular unit provides opportunity for an agreement to be made about several issues at once. Think of it like a Collective Bargaining Agreement.

That is fine. If our representatives can't come to a compromise then it probably shouldn't be done at the federal level.
