Is 5.56 more expensive now per round than full size cartridges or other intermediate cartridges?

I still dont think anyone has hit on the real reason they're so popular: they are excellent guns. They're a very stable and fairly light shooting platform. They're accurate. They are easy to clean. They're highly customizable for just about any application. 5.56 is cheap and has low recoil (for recreational shooters). It doesnt matter why you own guns, the AR platform covers all your bases and excels in every application. ( except chl i guess).

EDIT: One particular rifle isnt going to take care of every application, just the platform.
