Are there some onerous requirements for REAL IDs which require it to be more expensive, or is this a short-sighted money making scheme for the states?

To get a real ID you need to prove your citizenship, which is usually some combination of your birth certificate and/or passport or other IDs. Not really a big deal
But does mean an office visit rather than (sometimes) a renewal by mail.
having reliable government IDs means that people will be inconvenienced
Depends on the state: https://www.usa.gov/real-id
