$5 is cheap where? Most internet companies are global and have little desire to cut off customers in developing countries, since that's a major area of growth.

$5 in the US is roughly equivalent to $20 in my country, when you adjust for purchasing power parity. We have over 70 million people who use Facebook and Youtube daily.

If rich Americans won't pay $20 for a Yubi key (and they are currently $25) why should we be expected to?
