Yes it is. It can cost up to $30K per piece to create a mold. This includes draft, design, stamping, and manufacturing. A lot of people involved. There must be a great demand and market before going into production. Its all about investment and return on investment.

(reference: my uncle is the Production Engineer at Zenon)

If anyone is interested in investing in the creation of an aftermarket BS kit, please let me know. I'm sure I can work a deal!
