Shrug, the thing sold out at that price point. It can be "too expensive" and also the right price for the market.

And honestly, a display, an arm chipset, good wifi, Bluetooth, all the dualsense modules. The cost of production adds up.

There have been a lot of armchair experts around this thing whinging about it, but people who bought them are super happy. Why rain on that parade? Just be cool about it.
