Compare that to Shimano prices.

In contrast, Shimanos lame effort to update their shifters reduced their function and it was only offered in one groupo, not five. This year they trickled down the new shifters to Ultegra, so they're on two groups compared to Campy's current six.

It's Shimano and SRAM that have the catching up to do.
When is the great campy going to go electric. They went with 11 speed to try to seem to have an edge.
their rear hubs are little more that glorified freewheels. Even Joytech makes better hubs.
