How is it that in this day and age, people still think products should only cost the exact price of the base materials? And people are always wrong about those costs anyway. The cost doesn't just factor in only paying for the license and the materials. Cost includes the people who come up with the designs, the factory workers, the packaging materials, the packaging designer, the illustrator who comes up with the instructions.

On top of all that, they factor in the time for each of those dteps. Time is money, and it's more expensive than anything else on the list.

Because people don't think other people's labor and time is worth diddly squat
