Similar thing to this has been said before. It's because fixed wheel is still incredibly niche, so the cost of producing, for example, a flip flop hub is enormous compared to that for a bmx cassette hub. Hence it appears to be low value for money. Also sales of them are lower, so profit margins are greater, which means higher prices generally.
Nice Bob Jackon, that.
