Why is it more expensive to deploy in zones X,Y in regions A,B than zones M,N in region C? I assume you don't just mean "US West is ~10% more expensive than US East."

It's the combination of the extra cost of having machines in US West plus the cost of keeping the data synchronized between them (which is a lot) plus the added development overhead of making sure that things work cross region.
We'll get there one day, but we aren't there yet.
