HUH a Nikon d810a has 2x the MP (36mp) and an actually enhanced ir system Mag Alloy Frame professional-grade shutter. The Canon 60a OLD and is 18mp and has a not so great H-Alpha response when compared to Converted cameras and the 810a, no weather sealing and is a amateur camera body with a standard shutter.
The cost reasoning is pretty clear. No one likes the 60Da.
You can always just buy a whatever and convert it. Sony NEX 6 or something like that is about $250 to convert and cost about $400 to buy.

I'm dabbling in Astrophotography. Both Nikon and Canon (first on the market) now market "Astro" cameras. Canon makes a beautiful piece of equipment that is fully capable. Cost is about $1500 for the body. Nikon recently released their version and the cost is about $4000. Give me a break. I'm a Nikon guy from day one, but that's a price I'm not willing to pay. If only out of principle.

And overpricing is rife in the so-called “designer” market - even, dare I say, among top-grade DSLRs e.g. 5,000 GBP for the newest Nikon, but far less for the equivalent Pentax K1 at 1600 GBP.
Do they cost so much different to make ? - almost certainly not.
And Leica prices - well wow is all I can say to them ! Do buyers actually use them, or just collect them.
