11 speed is more expensive than 10 speed is today.
Just like 10 speed, once it "came out" was more expensive than 9 speed had been at the time.
Not many people would pay more for 10 speeds, so 11 speeds came out. Wouldn't be surprised if 12 speed road groupsets arrive soon. Along with 1x setups. Always something "new", "better". For a few $ more.
