They're hard to obtain. Think of fury vs. glory. It's about 100x the price there too but only slightly better. When an item is deemed the best of its kind in the game, the demand is sky high
If the cost was significantly lower, people would not kill Glacors to get them.
When the boots first came out, they were around the price they are now. After a few days of their release, they started to get lower and lower, and as a result Glacors became empty.
This resulted in the boots rising in price again, to the price they are today.
People are only going to go through effort to get something if it is worth it. You have to Mage Glacors, so if the boots get cheap enough, it isn't worth your runes or your effort killing them.

To get steadfast boots you have to camp for hours and hours and hours. While you are there you are taking a loss from runes and other supplies and they also nerfed the effigy drop rate(why most people went there in the first place).
It makes sense that they cost a lot.

Not to mention:
"Steadfast boots have surpassed Bandos boots as the most defensive boots in the game, and provide slightly higher defence bonuses. It is also notable that they give +2 on melee attack bonuses and have the same strength as Dragon boots." RS Wikia

Simply because they're the best, and people will buy them for that price.

i once read that in most mmo's the best gear is usually approximately 10x the cost of the next best thing
It's like asking why is a santa so expesive when it has no bonuses.
