Yes, I agree that aluminum is often a choice driven at least partly by cost.
If you want a frameset that is as light as cf, then there's an easy solution.
You seem to think that the world owes you a cheap and very competent race bike...Or at least you think it's awful that such things are scarce. Honestly, with all that's going on in the world today, this seems like a sad complaint.
