From the ICM Registry position, they're making as much money as they can out of the extensions, it's obviously set at a price some of the market will bear.
From the Registrant's position, it's just another business cost, if you're making money then it's a tax deductible expense so in the end, the cost of registration in real terms is offset by that tax deductibility.

i look at it like this: a .com is $10, .xxx is $100 (or near that figure).
so it's a scam. And a very bad investment. You place your site in the porn ghetto with property that's 10 times the norm. Makes it easier for SE's to filter out porn, which they all do.
Plus your costs as a business rise like a motherfucker.
100 .coms equal $1000, 100 .xxxs equal $10,000.
All in all a bad investment.
