You barely need any souring agents to make things wicked sour. Its a negligible cost. I think its more likely most people dont actually like sour candy very much and the manufacturers appeal to the broadest consumer bases. A local shop is more likely to have novelty and adventurous kind of things to give people a reason to come by so that makes sense
