One thing you’re forgetting: most items are only useable by mages, and that includes healing items. Well... mages or in some cases physicians of exceptional or even extraordinary skill. As for Halt Aging, someone who wants to create such an item needs at least two exceptionally demanding skills at 15+, Enchant and Halt Aging, which is master level, and at least nine other skills (Scroll and the eight other healing spells) to a level of reasonable competence. Add to the that the need for a fairly rare aptitude (Magery 2) and you have a meaningful barrier to entry.
