Yesterday, I flew AUS-SFO on a 738 and for full-flight it was $18.99!! In the past, I believe the total cost for this sub-4hr flight was around $11.99; not sure if I missed an announcement but $18.99 for a relatively short flight is pretty dang pricey IMO.
There appears to be continued experimentation with price points.

Also you're comparing an overnight redeye vs a nerd-bird route where I'd expect uptake to be high.
