With CRT sets out of production and reasonable expectation of maintenance and no other real HV (anything over 60V) applications in consumer electronics the market ends up being mostly scientific and industrial gear where cost doesn't matter as much. Try finding an assortment of 2W or higher resistors between 1M and 15M and you'll watch price climb a mountain and availability jump off a cliff...
I've been building an assortment of new stock 2W resistors for TV work and I have everything between 62 ohms and 1M... Above 1M there's no kits and finding some values (especially some common ones in early color) fuggedaboutit...And that's just fixed resistors, Pots are much worse.
