People don't appreciate that (a) it might be a selected or modified version of the same part and (b) even if it's used in bog-standard form it still has to be tested/stressed/certified before it can be used as an aircraft part. Quite often there are on-going batch tests/inspections etc even after the initial design costs are recovered.

That costs money, and that cost has to be recovered.
