Default Expensive Devices

Why are some things so expensive?

A 1/2 hp chiller runs over a $1000. The BTU's don't even rival a window
AC unit which runs under $100. Or, an office water cooler that runs $150.

Ballasts over $800.
Protein Skimmer for $250. Seems like a simple plastic device.

Sure they need to be rugidized for a salt environment, but Jeez! There
doesn't seem to be enough competition in these products. Or, am I
missing something?

I just got my skimmer. I'll quit whining now. It's f'n huge! I
thought it would be 4" in diameter, but it's more like 12".
