Why is Silicone cube lube so expensive when compared to normal Silicone sprays (like the ones used for treadmills)?

Just the title.

Well, my actual question is pretty short so I just try to contain it in the title which is what most people will see of my post.

I suspect the profit margins on cube lube are pretty high. It would explain why retailers frequently advertise their lubricants and suggest you to add a bottle at checkout. Gotta make money somewhere I guess.

Even though it seems overpriced, I do buy cube lubes instead of hardware store silicone lubes. I don't know if hardware store lubes would feel right, and 10cc of cube lube lasts forever anyway.

What's the problem? With this title, we know what's in the thread.
Half your titles are just "Help. I need help" and nobody knows what's inside without looking.

Short answer: Whatever the customer's willing to pay.
Long answer: Things like Silicone Spray also work quite well for lubrication, but don't last long inside the cube. So Cube Lube also has other additives for longevity.
Keep in mind Cube Lube packaging is incredibly small vompared to a can of spray so you pay extra for less, just like everywhere else.
