New key $35?!!! Can someone explain this to me?!

I have a 1998 900.
I lost one of my keys and remote control. I am used to paying a few bucks for a new key, so no big deal, right? Wrong! I call my local dealer after buying a used remote on eBay. A new key they have to order and it will be $35(!) and to reprogramm the remote it's $43, please. OK, reprogramming the remote I can sort of understand. But $35 for a KEY? I used to get a new key for my C900 for about $3 at a local locksmith, including the key blank. I called around and found one locksmith who offered to cut me a key using my blank for only $55(!!!) $55 to cut a key?!! What is it about these laser cut key that makes them so unbelievably expensive?! How are they better than regular keys that cost a few dollars?
