It appears that JP-1 cables for USB cost more than twice what they cost for Parallel. Why is this so?

Parts and labor.

Mostly parts, in the USB IC, and the PCB.

You need to understand that the USB cable isn't just a cable. It's a USB-to-JP1 adapter. The simple parallel JP1 cable is really just a cable.
