Because it's an artificial monopoly with a captive audience? Because the government demands all kinds of extra overheads with sometimes dubious need beyond justifying government agency work?
It's not a huge mystery.

Seriously. Make you throw away a perfectly good drink so you have to buy another. Like, where else are you going to go lol.
"government agency" doesn't own & run the shops & concessions. The monopoly is the corporate companies that own & run the retail. Yes, they pay rent to the airport authority, but they as the commercial enterprise sets the prices.
You're missing the point. You get past security, where you have to throw away food and drink, so where else are you going? Either suck it up or buy a water or items since you have nowhere else to get them.
