I didn't say more expensive, I said significantly less expensive.

In the past, it was argued that publishers priced the ebook as the same price as the hardcover because the publishers didn't want to cut into the profitability of the hardcovers. That is what I recall reading many times to justify "too expensive" ebooks.

Now I'm seeing the ebooks at much cheaper prices than the hardcover books, again, newer releases from big publishers.
