Remember, you're not only paying for the controller but also the brand name "Sony".

Same reason they disabled third party controllers in update 3.50. They're a company and they want to make money.

same reason why the 360 controller and wii + nunchuck controllers are expensive also

They include 6-Axis technology. Which is pretty hard to achieve.
