I think there is a key difference between cultured caviar, and kaviar (by which I'm assuming you mean imitation caviar, not the swedish fish roe spread). A high priced cultured caviar isn't just trying to be a replacement for the expense of real caviar. In fact, as I'm suggesting it (which you are agreeing with) is that because it does not harm fish in the process, it can be priced higher. This can't be done with imitation caviar, whose entire purpose for being is cheaper. Though, it is in some ways a marketing move. It's not quite the difference between fake leather and vegan leather, but it isn't that far off.
