Do you know realities of a one man show artisanal production shop of some world wide recognition who apparently does not have a desire to make masses happy?
By the time he makes that one crappy "statement" product he can probably make five cheaper ones or thirty of his budget ones. If the shop takes a repair job than it doesn't assemble units for sale.
Part of the benefit of being rich and in possession of almost unlimited resources is ability to spend the money on things we like without concern of a price tag.
(Methinks) There are very few people who offer something special in any field. I have no experience with Evans products whatsoever, but he may be one of them at least to some people. But it is offending to people like you because in your opinion everybody deserves that quality and it should cost max $1k and if you can't have it nobody else should have it either.
The problem of Americans expressed in threads like "wretched excess" is that as long as they were kings of the hills and their checkbooks could afford the top line of the consumer goods they were not concerned with that excess. Times changed and they can't get used to the fact the top of the line is beyond their reach.
