My initial assumption was that it’s because it’s newer, so they need to make up that r&d cost (edit: I get why this is silly now). Once there is a lot more competition for it, the prices should come down. Similar to how some plant based meats / milks or gluten-free products became more accessible once general people started buying them instead of a tiny group that could be exploited more easily.
I’m just hoping for fewer drunk driving accidents and reduced health issues
I was trying to escape beer to save money, but at $2 a can non-alcoholic is even more expensive despite seemingly less taxes needing to be paid.

Oh boy you are painfully optimistic about capitalism
Let us not forget, 1 trillion types of non alcoholic drinks already exist.
People don’t event know when they a being marketed.
