I would say it's probably more of a combination of the fact that things in japan are more expensive in general, production costs are much higher than your standard porn, and you're looking at a much smaller audience. Regardless of how much more popular h-movies are over there compared to here, you're still looking at a niche audience in the grand scheme of things.
That being said, anime production companies are notorious for not really caring about their audience outside japan. What does it matter, as long as they make their money there. The demand and economy here is such that we won't pay their ridiculous prices, and we also aren't bound by archaic censorship laws that apply to something minors aren't supposed to get ahold of anyway. If that means their primary audience decides to import it from a secondary audience where it's cheaper and better, and messes their shit up, then fuck the secondary audience.
At least they can't whine about how fansubbers are ruining the market for it when they've decided to ignore us as a market completely.
