Not only this, there are like 20 typos in that short text. Looks like a 6 y/o wrote that xD

Because of how hard it is to unbox them. It's basically math and statistics mashing up at once.

The ONLY WAY to get a knife: is unboxing it, they don't drop.

Each unboxing costs you $2.49 USD

The chances of getting a knife are 0.25%

So if you work out the rates, the average "return on investment" for these knives has to be around the hundred+ dollar mark - or else you're literally just throwing money away.

On top of THIS fact, some knives are more rare than others (patterns, coats, stat trak) and so they start their own mini-economy within the 0.25% chance.

Knives costs so much because it takes, literally, hundreds of dollars on average to unbox them.

You should/could use a "CSGO Case Simulator": http://case.convars.com/ to get a feel for just HOW MUCH MONEY you'd have to waste before you got a knife (or even a red skin).

On average it's a TON of cash.
