My guess would be cost because of the economy of scale. In the broad picture, the reloading industry is small, and then divide that again by how many would purchase an electronic scale. It's pretty small.
Not a lot of reloaders would pay $500 for a scale, so the reloading scale manufactures...
Anything extra can always be used for trading during a shortage.

The Triggertech Diamond model is the only one that I would own. I...
@LoonWulf -Is that barrel a light varmint profile?
