If MagSafe only adds $10 to the cost of the AirPods 3, why does it add $70 to the cost of the AirPods 2?

AirPods 2 at $129 is great. Should be able to get this at a lower price point during the holiday season.

Guessing we'll see AirPods 2 for $59-$69 during this years Black Friday / Holidays? They were as low as $79 during 2021 holidays ('https://appleinsider.com/articles/21/12/04/airpods-with-charging-case-drop-to-79-the-cheapest-online-price-available').
