Slight correction: This is the case in the first world. In the third world (or at least in my country) it's very much an economic situation because 10 bucks is more than many families' electricity bill.
Also from a third world, but I am relatively very well off, and you are also correct, it is very expensive. Trying to do the beserk deluxe edition and one copy is worth like the poverty line income for one person. But still I pirated Berserk but I wish to support a now deceased author, rip Miura.
CR only recently came to our country but is like 2-3 the price of Netflix, so why would I support something with less content
Yeah, companies should do regionally based pricing adjusting for the local economic situation instead of basing their prices off western standards. As you said, 10 bucks is a lot for a lot of countries.
