Good price because they are the 'Raspberry Pi HQ' official lenses. Some come with RPI's pricing.
An official reasoning from the initial blog. It may have been talked about more in the forum or the MagPi magazines.

Here’s what we are saying about the lense
“When using a low cost starter lens like the 3MP lens on the HQ camera you will effectively have the equivalent of a perfect 3MP image even though the HQ Camera sensor itself is 12.3MP and the image file can be any size up to a 12.3MP image. Nonetheless the focus is adjustable so the image quality is still going to be much better than the fixed focus V2 camera for close up shots. There are other factors too such as the dynamic range and low light sensitivity that make pictures far higher quality than the V2.
Similarly when using a 10MP lens you will effectively have a 10MP image but the image quality is not going to be very noticeable difference when compared to a 12MP lens. “
