To address the OPs question, originally considered politically incorrect as almost all metallic Titanium came from Russia, then the USSR. Even the Ti used to build the SR71 spy planes was from Russia, bought through a CIA organized and run Swiss front company.

Titanium refining to the metallic form is very energy intensive and includes a chemical reaction step using some apparently enviromentally questionable chemicals so it is not popular among those who claim to be enviromentally conscious.

I suspect that the third reason is envy as they want one but cannot afford it.
