Demand is not as strong as you think it is. New releases these days rarely do pressings bigger than a couple thousand. Reissues can be higher, but only for proven sellers like Dark Side of the Moon. It's the low demand that forces prices for new vinyl into the $30-40 range.
For many of us, myself included, a big part of the attraction of vinyl is finding great stuff at Goodwill for 99 cents, or at used record stores for $5. It's lamentable that most new releases never see vinyl, and that reissues are scarce, but I'm too busy enjoying the last 50 years or so at 10 cents a song.
