Probably just lower supply because of the outdated standard of 170+ cranksno it is the correct size for short people.
Check out Merlin cycles. They have the best prices on shimano and actually have sales on the Di2 stuff. Usually their groups come with a crank but you could always sell it. They rival Ali express in price and for me in the US at least the shipping is like 2 days vs a a few weeks. Plus it is all legit and covered by warranty since it is an actual shop selling it.
Otherwise just search Ali express ad piece together what you want. Most sellers tend to have and then not have stock so I have to source from different ones each time I am looking.

hope it will last a thousand miles...
issues on the build process;
1. Routing the FD cable is a bit of problem but able to run on the bottom of BB.
2. BB thread is clean unlike the many VBR218 issues.
3. I forgot to consider the expander thickness on top of steerer tube so I do cut twice
4. I put a bit of spacer in the base of rear brake instead of sanding the inner side to avoid delaminating the paint.
5. I overtighten(5nm) my seatpost bolts at first try that left some paint crack i hope it's a not a problem later on. It's okay now, not sliding down anymore.
6. Bleeding the brakes and alignment is one hell of experience
7. Aligning the RD is easier than the FD
initial ride(20kms) feel is stiff and maybe i am too excited to push which i felt lighter than my all-rounder bike(7.8kg SL4 copy )... let me try to some hill climb to compare...
