Fentanyl is cheap and easy to make and it's very potent in small quantities, which is in some ways convenient.
It just doesn't sell very well on it's own for good reason.
So you take a bunch of something that will sell like cocaine, cut it down until it's mostly creatine powder or whatever, and then add that cheap fentanyl for the kick. The financial reasons make perfect sense.
Of course since it's a so strong, rather small differences in quantity makes the difference between recreational use and overdose, and drug labs aren't known for their quality control. So a lot of people die.
I agree with the point that this is just one more reason to stop the drug war. It's better to let people legally buy drugs that come with the kind of quality control that's motivated by legal responsibility for your product and brand management, and maybe even governmental oversight if the bureaucracy doesn't get defunded.
