$405 for two USB plugs in the Kitchen?

It should be $32.95 per pair, with any number of receptacles anywhere in the unit able to be upgraded. There is no difference in the labour to install the USB receptable vs. a normal one, and we’re talking about construction time here.

Your link is $32.95 each, not per pair.

Also, I disagree with zero labour cost. While the actual installation is the same amount of labour, there's overhead costs for tracking which units are getting them (and which outlets if you let people choose), getting them delivered in the right quantities to the right units (they may not be an inventory item for the electrical contractor), and the inevitable costs of corrections when mistakes are made.

All that said, I agree $405 is insane. Momentum wanted $95 for the same, which seemed like an understandable markup. Upgrades are always higher margin for the builder though, as they are in any product.
