I am asking why it costs so much more in the UK than in the USA.

Wages, taxes, volume of sales, cost of warranty claims, profits,

Well, the above is partially true, in that no-one can sell below what it
costs them overall and stay in business. But many things are sold on the
basis of what the market will bear.
