I'm... confused. SC is actually cheaper, starting at $30,- for the game up to $45,- for alpha & beta access.
At any rate, I'd guess that the extra cost is due to the need to set up the server infrastructure early. Without it those costs would have to be covered by funds that would normally go towards development. Considering they don't have publisher backing, it seems reasonable, though indeed rather counterintuitive.
