why is fly gear so darned expensive?

Allright,
I can understand why the line is expensive. I can understand that the rods have to be light and put up with a lot of whipping, but why the reels? Most of them aren't too mechanically complicated. Why are they so expensive?
Flys are a lot cheaper than lures. It's just the reels that are holding me back. And guys complain about the prices of Van Staal spinning reels!
