I'm sorry, but i can't quite see the connection between the time it takes to do something like this and the price charged. You're not paying for their physical labour, as you would with paying for, say, having a clutch changed - you're paying for the research and development that went into it, plus the fact that what people are willing to pay is what will (or should) determine price, not just the input costs. Your logic would suggest that you shouldn't have to pay more than 50p for a computer software programme as that's all the CD would cost!
