You can buy the knockoff (reversed engineered) versions, but you can pretty much blame Apple for the high cost of the official cables as they require licensing for their cables and also include a fun "authorization chip".
It looks like the newer docks don't even have a 3.5mm jack (-10dBV output). The older docks do though so it's only the dock cost plus a $5-10 3.5mm TRS cable.
Technically the knockoffs are illegal too, so there's that. Apple's pretty notorious for milking their customers. You should have known what you were getting yourself into! haha...
edit:
Apple lightning to 30-pin cable from Amazon: $35
3.5mm line out cable (which simultaneously charges via USB): $8
Total cost: $43

You get better sound quality anyways through the line out as opposed to the headphone jack.
