The market decides, if you don't like the cost of a high quality piece of software you don't have to pay for it.

The lock-in is pretty standard business practice now.

It's a specialised piece of software for biologists and doctors, I'm sure every industry has overpriced software.

The phrase you may be looking for is “vertical market” and it’s a phrase that makes MBA types salivate. An underserved and overcapitalized vertical market can support amazing profits.
