My understanding is that some people are willing to pay, but it's illegal to charge that much.

There is an issue with price caps in some regions. Some of those have been addressed.

I think this is a subset of larger shift in the economics of insurance. While coverage focuses most on the climate change aspect, the majority of the change is driven by building costs. If you cant rebuild economically, then you cant insure economically.
