I wouldn't say it's gotten too expensive. I'm averaging about 2ish euros a photo with my medium format camera.
Each roll depending on the maker is 10-15 euros with 5 euro development fee. The most I've ever paid was 20 euros per roll.
If film ever runs out and I still don't want to give up analog photography, I'll use glass plates.
I think film is a bit too hard to do yourself. Case in point is Harmon Phoenix. You should take a look at their process because they are the 3rd maker of film emulation in the modern era.
I've become a spray and pray type of photo with digital so I am using film to make me really slow down and focus on the basics.
The other half is the joy of knowing the photons physically affected the emulation layer. I really like how analog is a physical process. Also my folks are getting old, I like the idea of their photons affects a physical medium I can keep.
It seems like smores to me ¯_(ツ)_/¯
