I'm maintaining that for the vast majority of consumers, who value water

Then, again, your beliefs are at variance with the actual case.
Evidence?
Why is that people who start agument-by-assertion always call for
evidence from the *other* person.

Rainwater tanks are certainly not the solution. They are one of the most

[Argument by assertion:]
Lead acid batteries continue to have a high price despite the large
supply and demand because they are inherently expensive to manufacture.
[Or demand is falling?

[Price, value, cost] are completely independent of each other, but in
a real market, if price does not lie between cost and value [so not
so "completely independent"
], then there
will be no transaction. If the price exceeds value, then the purchaser
won't proceed with a transaction. If it is less than cost, then the
seller won't proceed.
