Now days getting artifact weapon is really cheap (around 90K AD) - 30k for dragon stone, 10k for dragon bone and 50k to start process. Because of this everyone has artifact weapon.
About drop rate - it is same. These marks can e found in dungeon chests. BUT - there are not chests in ELOL and ESOT, and most people run those recently. Even when people run other dungeons, no one bothers to open normal chests anymore. Btw ELOL dungeon drops these with 1:10 chance (e.g you get 1 blue mark average every 10 runs).
Artifact weapons have been in game for MONTHS. The rise of the blue marks is recent. Not long ago they were selling for 3-4k each.
eLoL and eSoT have also been in games for MONTHS. They are not recent change. People have been running them for MONTHS, not just recently.
Nothing much changed in both the supply and demand of blue marks over the last 2 to 3 weeks except the prices.
Easy: The mass reached the point, where they could get an artifact-weapon, just recently and not months ago. The mass is not grinding ToD on a daily basis.
There will be several new artifact equipment pieces - the smart people are buying up and hoarding the marks in preparation for launch.

Then I'm not smart but frugal, I'll just run any duns for 8 hours straight just to get 1. I don't like the idea of spending 100k ad for this mark alone

Mark of power is 90k
Mark of union 38k
Mark of stab 7k
And they all needed for the artifact weapon.
Union and power was the same price (50k) a week ago.
Yep, thats why I bought tons of marks, some months ago when the very first artifact weapon dropped out of a box and I recognized you need those to level up! ( So everyone WILL NEED them)
smart players do sell them now and make billions, but bought them for some thousands
Yea im using them to upgrade bloodskull raven artifacts so i can get those to level 59 to boost gwf and vanguard banner artifact - thus these marks are higher in demand followed by union for DC sigil.
And add to opgrade of artifact belts and weapons the drop in prices of refinement points - peridots etc. And there is the reason. People are boosting stuff from 0 - to legendary in one day atm.
Cryptic replaced easy to farm nodes ad farmers use feyblessed enchants oe. to get their ADs, so there are no more cheap marks in the AH.
I dont like this blame game, if someone wants something and does not get it for free or dirt cheap. There are either some 'evil masterminds' manipulating the AH for their personal gain or some intelligent players predicting their own needs, buying things BEFORE the masses realize the growing demand. It is neither evil to buy for yourself nor to buy in exess and make a profit of it, as long as you do not have insider knowledge.
I made a few million ADs buying marks BEFORE the refinement weekend went live, using them myself and giving some to my friends, selling the rest. A friend who stopped playing did the same with Tymoras gifts and I 'inherited' some x000 boxes from him, making millions ADs. Thats neither manipulating nor evil, but clever.
I stockpiled millions of RPs for mod 5. If cryptic changes the dragonhoard drops to BTA, I can either use them or sell them with a nice profit. If they dont make the announced changes, I overpaid.
Uh huh... You know all those Resonance stones selling for cheap? People buy those, then upgrade artifact weapons and belts. That alone makes demand increase. The price changes also aren't recent. Marks of power have been increasing in price since a month after Mod 4 hit. It's just scaling faster since more and more people are demanding them.
The high demand is perfect for those people who have tons of AD and the know-how to buy up cheap marks of power and price them up.
I dont know if it is bugged. It seems, that the marks are one of the possible rewards. They do not drop, but appear in the inventory of one of the players. I think the one with the last hit.
PS. They drop in LOL nonepic, too.
Because there's more power artifacts than other types AND most good artifacts are power type.
