Cost plus availability. That is why a small percentage of RPis are now being used in industrial control applications where you still need the board available in 10+ years. My client recently ordered the remaining stock from a large supplier

Re-Use is the way to go, I generally check in at the re-use centre in our town, the scrap yard and the local auction sites before buying anything new. Its a shame everything electronic is basically landfill due to either lack of circuit dia
