Are the nozzles typically such a huge chunk of $$ in a whole injector?

No such thing as "new" injectors. Research it and find out. The ones you are thinking about at $50-60 ea are "rebuilds" and the only NEW part is the nozzle. If you buy a nozzle alone, it is $29 for the India made ones.
As far as someone at a warehouse cherry picking the rebuilt injectors with the German nozzles, no one will do that. The injector has to be taken apart to find out if the nozzle is German or not and no supplier is willing to do that just to sell a part. The warehouses aren't the ones who do the rebuilding. The rebuilds are probably coming from India too now, that's why they have India nozzles. They "might" pick for just the German nozzles themselves though?
There are no "cores" with nozzles, they are what wears and is thrown away when an injector is "rebuilt".
All you get with a "rebuilt" injector is equivalent to your old injector that is cleaned and a new nozzle installed. This you can do yourself for a LOT less $'s and not have to send cores anywhere. Balancing is a good idea, but the injectors you buy for the $50-60 are not balanced, just dis-assy'd, cleaned, new (India) nozzles installed and re-assembled.
