Question Why are helis so expensive?

No offence to you rotorheads, but I checked with a local flight school and got really irritated: $175/ hr for a R22! That's a rate for a multiengine piston (C-310)!

Why is it that helicopters are so much more expensive? Are they just so much more inefficient? Is the TBO lower? Sorry to ask such a "dumb" question, I didn't really feel like bringing it up at the flight school
