Why are good capacitors so expensive, and why don't they make these any more?

IDK if its a MLCC or a SLCC misrepresented as a MLCC

I also had a round blue one that did not look like the little pillow but claimed to be a MLCC, even with the SLCC shape. It was fatter then a typical disk cap, blue, but IIRC the data sheet said it was a MLCC.

The one pictured there looks very like a disc: note the wire connection under the coating running on the bias.
The data sheet lists several dielectrics, including C0G/NP0, X7R, … , Z5U, which would be required to cover that range of capacitance at high voltage.
