I suspect it's more like a "because people will pay it" price. Similar
keyboards are available here and have a small market in the disability area.
If you are a typist who loses ability in one arm you'd pay a lot to be able
to continue to type - or the insurance people would. Here the Accident
Compensation Commission = government run insurer for no blame accident
compensation, will pay handsomely for something that stops people having to
collect full disability insurance.
