I had tons of problems with the Bosch blades bending while I was using them, so I'll pass on this one.

manufacturing wisse, there is a lot less waste in stamping out 10x 1"x8" recip blades out of a sheet of metal, but oscillating blades are a much more complicated shape with a lot more waste.
First, some oscillating blades have proprietary fittings (unlike blades like these where are universal). There ARE universal fittings, but tool manufacturers are reluctant on making their own blades readily accessible (ex: Bosch).
Second, the application. Blades for oscillating tools are thinner and have a MUCH higher motion than even a jigsaw. The material has to therefore withstand that friction/abuse. This requires additional tooling which contributes to the additional cost.
TLDR: Greedy manufacturers and increased difficulty to make
As an alternative if you want Dewalt, this 6 pack is also on sale:
