These "overly expensive" publicly-paid sites often include from scratch creation of extensive content management system which requires a lot of work. That being said, most of the money is often spent on maintenance and running the site. I.e. it can contain 5 years warranty, 5 years of hosting, guaranteed availability and scalability, and so on... (even telephone support in some cases). Don't know if this is the case though. I'm also not saying it is a good thing. In my opinion, ordering site like this is just a way to steal more money than you could with a custom wordpress site hoste on a shared host.
