Dragon Metal Content - Planes vs Tanks

It is interesting to note that Dragon's 1/72 planes are very high in metal content, while the tanks are almost plastic. I have looked at Dragon's plane prices and they are generally from $19.99 - $25.00. Here is my question: If Dragon can produce a 1/72 plane high in metal content, and sell it for ca. $22.00. Why can't Dragon produce their tanks in the same manner, and sell them for a similar price? Why can't they simply go back to the metal content of their first Tiger I? Is it a detail problem? A production problem? Why aren't the planes mainly plastic? Interesting.
