Yes, because pianos are still viewed as special, which is in turn because they are expensive to buy, hard to transport, take up a lot of space, and requires regular service (tuning). But tubes lack (or could potentially be made to lack) all of these qualities, which is why it would be risky to try to make tubes more cheaply available.
