My initial assumption was that it's because it's newer, ~~so they need to make up that r&d cost~~ (edit: I get why this is silly now). Once there is a lot more competition for it, the prices should come down. Similar to how some plant based meats / milks or gluten-free products became more accessible once general people started buying them instead of a tiny group that could be exploited more easily.

I'm just hoping for fewer drunk driving accidents and reduced health issues
