Titanium and all of its required tooling and labor to work it has become much more refined...
I know a guy who builds flounder (flat fish) gig heads. He has stainless or Ti... I thought the Ti would be more than double or triple more expensive but was surprised to find it was a bit more expensive but not double.
Mind you, he doesn't have any "proof" type quality control issues like many products would nor does he do a heat treat if it is ever applicable to Ti work.
