Why do special effects in movies cost so much money to produce?

I see posts all the time talking about the million dollar special effects and such, but isn’t it just a team of people using software? Why and how do (decent) special effects have such a high price?

Developing software is not cheap. For a well developed application you can easy spend millions in development.

The software there using is complex: it has to create very realistic images, in high detail. It is also very specific for the movie. It will allways take a lot of work from both developers and artists to adapt the software they have to the movie.
