Why do car keys cost so much these days?

One of the things that I have noticed in the last 10 years is new car prices have kept relatively low. The car manufacturing industry now makes their main profit from parts that the car needs over the years to keep it on the road.

One of the parts is genuine car keys and diagnostic software for programming the keys in.
