Why shouldn't they go for more than $40 tops? Have you designed one and sold it so you know how much they really cost.

Sure, their is a premium on HDMI right now. However, a switch like this cost money to make. It isn't like it is a simple switch button, it has a remote. On top of that, HDMI is in the digital realm, unlike composite, s-video, component and VGA that is analog. Circuity for HDMI I am sure is more complicated. On top of that, factor in the latest and greatest HDMI with spec 1.3 and also royalty fees. It can add up and like everything else, since it is new, it will come down in price with time.

Quality component switches still fetch a pretty penny anyways.
