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?

You mean a team of highly skilled and highly paid visual effects engineers with project managers, middle management, and other staff? Why would it cost millions of dollars to pay for those people?

A team of 10 people getting paid $100k salary is a million dollars. Watch the movie credits for VFX engineers.
