Because people who used to buy a box are now buying a case, when they find it.
People who were buying bricks are buying cases.
And you can't use any of the centerfire equipment to make rimfire, nor can you reload it yourself.
Speculators who have supplies are charging big money because people will pay it right now.
When the market is saturated, the prices will drop. Not before, unless you can control demand and human nature.
I just saw a major vendor today selling bricks of .22LR, I think it was Federal, for $19.38 for 525 rounds, which is $37/M or about $.037/round. The sold out just before I got there, but it means some people are still trying to sell ammo at reasonable prices.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." - President Theodore Roosevelt, 1910
