ASRock AB350 Pro4: A Decent, Linux-Friendly Ryzen Motherboard For As Low As $69 USD
In ITX size, however, you need to design a completely new layout, with very little available space. This increases design costs compared to ATX & mATX, which already are more cost effective since they can share a design (at least partially), which lowers per unit cost for the manufacturer.
Add to that the fact that less people want an ITX board than the cheaper to design bigger ones, which makes per unit design cost even higher compared to bigger boards.
This, also mini-itx boards usually have more layers than atx/microatx, and that does increase costs of design/manufacture.
