I wonder why it's so expensive.
Emergent tech always starts out very expensive.
Consider that the phone you probably posted this on is significantly more powerful than the first computers, which were several orders of magnitude larger and more expensive.
Yeah, great points. Economies of scale have not kicked in, and I'm sure there are plenty of inefficiencies with the technologies they're currently using.
It would be neat to know precisely what parts are expensive. Broad generalizations about how prices on goods go up and down aren’t quite as interesting. 😅
Challenge accepted.
