The tax could also be an abstraction. It's actually quite high, but that would suck for us as players, so it's represented in game as high potion level costs.
Kinda like how a lvl 1 commoner of average means in D&D could barely survive off their common professions with the core's food and wage tables.
In this case though it's the devs coming out and specifically saying "This is just like how it is in the game, except for the ways it isn't because that would be too troublesome to represent accurately."
Why not just leave it alone?
