Biologic production is extremely difficult and expensive
It's not that bad. Brewers developed the knowledge how to work with microorganisms centuries ago. Most antibiotics are biologics, and they are dirt-cheap. Insulin isn't monoclonal antibodies, it's grown in bacteria, in the simplest expression system, and how to isolate it from the fermentation batch is well-understood and involves no problematic steps.
