I don't know how they think we're all going to survive with these prices.

A half gallon of cold brew coffee is up to $7. I can make it myself for a fraction of that, but it's more labor for me.

I mean, only a little bit of labor. Even with premium grounds, I can't imagine it costing more than 50 cents to make a half gallon. As for labor, just throw it all in a pitcher, give it a quick shake or stir, then leave it in the fridge for a couple of days. Pour it through a standard filter. I use the basket from my regular coffee maker.

Making your own cold brew is one of the most cost-efficient DIY foods out there.

I've been making cold brew with an in-jar filter that is more complicated than it should be but still not hard except for the pre planning for a few days in advance when I'm traveling for work. I'm definitely going to try it the way you describe though.
