I can't tell you how many times I've had this conversation with clients. It costs what it costs because of the massive time and equipment investment involved. Digital IS more expensive and more time consuming and more flexible and more frustrating. I remember when the flagship Canon 35mm film SLR cost $2k and you bought it once every 8-10 years. Now the flagship Canon 35mm DSLR costs $8k and you buy it every 2-3 years. But try explaining that to your client whose marketing budget has been halved in the last 2 years. Not to mention the $10-15k worth of computers and harddrive back up needed just to work on and store the images. It's a pricey endeavor. Nicole nailed it.
