I personally take my 3 yr old to an actual Lego store only on special occasions - otherwise i look for deals. It's very expensive at MSRP, agreed, but watching your kid persevere with complex and tactile construction projects - and then use their imaginations to adapt and expand those projects - is super rewarding for everyone concerned. In my opinion, that's very much worth the money - especially when kits like this can often require multiple hours or days of focused attention.
I can 100% see why many folks would feel priced out of the market though. It ain't cheap. For as long as he's into it though, I'm happily riding the Lego train. (And we'll be doing a Lego City Passenger Train set at Christmas ☺️).
Also, "nickel and diming" is maybe not the term to use here when referring to perceived vast overpricing. I think this would be closer to "monopoly pricing". There are alternative kits to be found out there. None are very cheap though - since achieving such consistent production quality (and instruction quality) is no simple task.

A couple reasons Lego are so expensive is that they are a leader in plastic molding science. Their plastic coloring process is second to none and the molding process is sough after by countless companies both competitors and non as the molding process is so precise.
Because of these facts you will rarely see a broken Lego though it can happen it is quite rare and the coloring of the legos when treated under normal conditions is stead fast.
As such legos my brothers played with in the 1960s were played with by me, my kids and quite possibly one day my grandkids.
Speaking to the cost of sets specifically, Lego has turned many sets into arguably buildable works of art that can be displayed throughout the house as evidence from this beautiful set.
I would imaging this like many sets ever only get bought once as there is no need for repeat purchases since it is meant to be displayed so from a sales standpoint this is a one time purchase per customer.
If it is broken down I would imaging it to live long in the creative hands of generations of artists and engineers to come.
The quality, artistry in both engineering and design, and potential replay-ability all lend to why this particular toy sells at a premium.
