Yes, money does count here, along with expertise.  The cost of building and running a secure and reliable CA datacentre, the development of and adherence to its processes, cost of hiring. training and security vetting staff, and the cost of audits and compliance, to mention just a few things, are something far beyond what you could do in your basement.
