Why are they more expensive?

Likely because they're not pricing based on their costs, but rather what the market will bear.

Although they have a lot of R&D to recoup, so that's a cost.

Also, perhaps it's a consequence of limited supply. If the SF fleet is still just 250 cars that seems quite small to me for a city with a lot of demand for ride services.
