My friend Shani has to wear 3XL, and he is an Olympian. He's in the best shape out of anybody I know, but he is also the second of tallest of dudes I know. Why does he wear XXXL? Any t-shirts smaller won't cover his belly. Tall dudes need long/wide shirts. My old stagecrew boss weighs in around 500lbs, and is about 6'5". He wore something that made Shani's wardrobe look like doll clothing, so 10XL isn't completely unheard of.
As far as the higher cost for larger than XL goes, it's supply and demand. Most people don't go larger than XL, so XXL and up don't sell too well. To make up for their cost of production, they need to increase the price somewhere. Don't forget, making the shirts is the easy part. It's the design and layout that have the biggest costs.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
