Maybe they made the production more efficient but it used to be $100k/missile. Which is still much cheaper than Patriot/Hez/David's Sling which come with the price tag of millions.
The system is far from flawless and is mostly designed to target "dumb" short range missiles. The economics of war still work against it as the rockets the Hamas fires cost an order of magnitude less.
