Do you think it is fair that cpanel & whmcs should cost more than the server

For those that need it, it's hard to put a value on a piece of software that helps them use their VPS to its fullest potential, rather than just having it sit around as a hunk of virtual hardware. It's like paying for management, except you can do it yourself. That's actually worth a lot to some people.
Sweden you twonk.

One thing I decided from the beginning was that I would keep billing and vps control panels off of anything connected to the business (as in not a solusvm instance on my server or anyone else). It does cost extra in the long run but I decided that separate server + proxmox + separate vms for every service gave more security and isolation to clients and myself.
For the cost of software to run the business, I say if you are going to do it right you will see slow growth but a time will exist where you pay for everything out of your own pocket and if you cannot afford to carry your products and yourself for as long as it takes you should not open the business.
I do wish I had money or time to make my own panels but as many other hosts out there, I depend on others and thus I pay the licensing for those products.

For clients that know cpanel and the potential of the software that pricing is fair.
For what Cpanel does, it is worth every single dime.
Indeed. Cpanel and WHMCS are both quality products. Quality products cost. It's like asking for a new ferrari for the cost of a kia. Not gonna happen unless there is a catch.
Not to mention what users have come to expect. Users want cpanel. If you can't provide it then you need to look for a cheaper alternative which really isn't an option for mainstream hosting.
