It's not the constituents but a combination of their complexity, production setup costs and for e-bikes, the relatively small scale of production with assembly all by hand that makes them expensive. It's widely expected that they will reduce in price in a couple of years time.
To see how complex their circuitry is compared with most battery types, have a look at
this page on one of my sites.
