It's the same reason that hotel minibar pricing is so high.

Don't worry, minibars are dying too: http://priceonomics.com/the-rise-and-fall-of-the-hotel-mini-...

It's hard to keep that level of pricing with convenience stores nearby and more and more companies unwilling to reimburse for the minibar.

Minibars are still a big thing in Asia, especially at resorts where convenience stores are probably far away.
