Because it's actually expensive as fuck to make if you want to offer a product that is archival grade and you can't just bleach recycled rags.
You need old ass steampunk machinery so paper mills are still located in traditional locations and it's not viable to offshore.
Watercolorists are anal as fuck about their paper, much more than any other artist working in other medias.
This said, the cheapest 100% cotton paper you can get is pic related from China and you can get it on AliExpress. I never tried it but some chink youtubers recommend it
