Why is 10Gb/s networking still so expensive in 2020?

Okay, this is really bothering me. The new USB standards support up to 10Gbps and some of the chips for it are less than two dollars. Even hubs are less than 10 dollars I feel like we're being either ripped off or straight up being taken advantage of. Is it really just a supply/demand thing or am I missing something? I don't know much about ethernet circuitry but unless I'm missing something i don't see why there's such a cost difference between USB3.0 and 10GB networking.
