Why was the Space Shuttle so expensive to launch?

NASA estimates each launch cost $450 mil, while Spacex estimates their launch at $60 mil per launch!

From the research ive done many of the parts for the Space Shuttle were reused, obviously the Shuttle was reused as well as most of the solid rocket booster.

Is it just bureaucracy? Or was NASA just inefficient?
