How can this be true? Weren't these standards produced with tax money?

Sort of. I'm not super familiar with the EN, but ISO is a non-governmental organization, and is funded by 'subscriptions' from every participating nation (which are apparently based on GDP?)
They are also funded by selling access to their full standards reports. You can see a preview for the one in question here: https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#iso:std:iso:29463:-1:ed-2:v1:en
It's only 88 CHF (~90 USD, I think?)
I'm a lot less familiar with the European Standards, and the ISO above is apparently derived directly from the $1148 doc mentioned in the article (https://www.emw.de/en/filter-campus/iso29463.html)
