Why tho? If they machine the piece in bulk (which I assume they do) this would significantly bring the price down. I imagine the money they make is from the shifters. Even normal bar end shifters are £40+ for shimano 8 speed iirc. The total system price is still a lot given the levers and shifters arent that expensive in comparison
