The production costs are way more than 15 USD, you have to account for the 6 layers PCB, assembly and a BOM which is higher than what you suggest.

We can take costs down a little more with larger numbers but not by a great margin.

The assembly process of Type-C plugs is also time consuming and therefore costly.
