Its worth whatever people are willing to pay for it. It's a perception that you need Windows, and that's going to last a while. That's why there's such a huge market in silly things that you don't need(like Winzip for example), the price has nothing to do with how much engineering went into it, or how much it cost.
And also, from TFA the actual source of the article is hearsay at best. Pricing is more likely to be based around individual agreements with suppliers. They have a real incentive to get units out (to drive more App store revenue), But for smaller players they will continue to milk the Windows brand for as much as people are willing to pay for it.
