I never said it was the only reason. The reason it costs so much is because you aren't paying for the raw material. You're paying for a service. That service happens to be laughably bad and expensive, but that's what you're paying for.

I don't understand your contention then, as this was a response to a very specific scenario that does not happen in practice.
