SC Couplers 3x more for 3.0 vs 5.0

I’m perplexed. Anyone know why (in USA) replacement supercharger Isolator couplers are $20 for a 5.0 and $65 for a 3.0?

Supply and demand? Complexity of manufacture?

Compared to other repairs on our cars, chump change.

You are kind of conparing "apples to oranges" in comparing the price of an OEM 3.0 coupler to an aftermarket 5.0. Ebay has cheap aftermarket couplers for the 3.0 at about the same price as 5.0 aftermarket, and 5.0 OEM 5.0 at about the same price as 3.0:
