While I'm sure that Drew can speak to this better than I can I feel like I have some first hand knowledge to share. I was actually a part of the beta process for Cardas and I can tell you that the amount of time that they spent developing these plugs was not insignificant, think years. Also the connector and strain relief went through multiple revisions/prototypes before the final design was settled on. So while the manufactured cost is probably quite low now that they have completed all of the R&D if they didn't recoup that cost they'd go out of business.
Are they expensive, yup, but you can build some sweet cables with them.
[edit]And before someone asks, no, I don't build Senn cables for sale. I have a couple friends who have them and that's what you're looking at.
