It is illegal to profit from assisted suicide in Switzerland. All organizations that are involved in assisted suicide are nonprofits.
Every assisted suicide is then investigated by the police to ensure no profit motives exist.
Why does one have to pay an extraordinary amount for it then? Does all money go to the facilities and the staff? (which mind you by law isn't mandated to consist of physicians)
Again:
Yes, it's "illegal" but it's effectively nulled if the means to it are made legal.

I don't know what you mean by "an extraordinary amount." It's about $10,000, which covers multiple consultations, medical assessments, interactions with the government, the nonprofit's operational costs, and so on.
