That doesn't make this price not terrible. It just alligns with the terribleness we exepect nowadays.

Price is objective. Cost is relative. The price is high and the cost is poor when compared to other offerings.

The cost is high, the price is relatively cheap because materials cost too much due to the slop bubble

Do you have the BOM to substantiate your claims or are you just winging it? This device does not seem to be that much better than a pico 4 ultra to justify the price difference.

Faster RAM, more RAM, better DoF, better refresh rate, Eye Tracking, better battery life, full hand tracking
