Why no generic LP-E17 batteries?

I have searched Amazon, ebay, and everywhere for generic equivalents to the very pricey Canon LP-E17 battery for the M3.  I've never had an issue finding generics (usually Wasabi or DSTE) that work great with my other cameras.

I know that the M3 isn't the only Canon body using this battery size, so why is this one so impossible to find?

Anyone have a source?

Thanks
