Just because it costs this to manufacture and develop does not mean it is worth this to a consumer in terms of customer value.

This is especially true right now, when the enormous gulf between the wealthy and poor is the worst we've seen in living memory.

As long as people keep buying, companies will keep selling.

This. That's why some things are intentionally sold at a loss to increase adoption to be bolstered by post purchase sales on the back end.
