Because it’s more valuable to the user, so people will pay more for it it. It may or may not cost more to produce (depends on the technology and a bunch of other things), but the price it sells for is all based on what the customer will pay.

And people aren’t buying volume, they’re buying GB of storage. More GB is worth more.
