Not having reached enough developers and leading adopters means no market available except developers doing fundamental porting and experimentation.
Targeted at developers doing fundamental porting means no volume.
No volume means high prices. Low volume ASIC runs aren't cheap. Amortizing NRE costs of a complicated motherboard over dozens or hundreds of units ain't cheap either.
It will sort itself out eventually, but the whole ecosystem has a big mountain to climb to get to where ARM is.
