I'd say pricing is more tied to what the marketing agencies can convince the gullible to pay for it. If there are enough gullible, the price stays high. If not, or if there is competition for the exact same product (ie. public-domain authors), the price will come down. So long as they can play the "art" and sophistication cards, the gullible will be more easily enticed. Or, if they can lie about costs or keep people in the dark about them, even better.
