Why are popular games more expensive on CD key selling sites than Steam? (zerobytes.monster)

Was looking to pick up a legit copy of ARMA Reforger and see that it's now $40 on Steam so I think, "Alright, I'll just get it elsewhere"...problem is that "elsewhere" is also "way more expensive".

I've seen this before but was wondering if anyone knows why ALL CD key selling sites simultaneously are more expensive than just buying the damn game through completely legitimate means?

I understand popular games being more expensive, not expecting to find a key for 50% off or anything but them ALL being MORE expensive makes no sense to me.
