Sandisk invented the flash memory card and they did it simply because of the 100lx, which at that time was the only device that could use it.
I recently bought a 128 gig micro SD card for $32 so yes I'd say prices have gone down.

Not long ago I was paying about $20 for a 14 gb usb stick. I now pay that for a 64 gb stick. Cloud storage may be driving down prices and some devices dropping external storage altogether may be leading to oversupply and lower prices. Whatever the case it is good for consumers
Edit: BTW that is a great price on the micro sd. I was paying that much for a 32 gb micro sd not long ago.
