Why PicoPSU are so expensive?

Hello,
When reading and searching for my future quiet PC, I came accross these incredible small PSU.
I have never heard about picoPSU before last week.
It looks really great!
But it looks also bit expensive, when you consider few components on a small board.
42€ for the 150W, it's like a complete PSU 300W (correct 80+ bronze)
Is it only because it's a niche, so we have to pay a premium?
Why no other company is selling the same, cheaper?
Last question: do you have one on your PC? how good is it? (regulated power, silence if the brick has a fan, etc.)
