Yeah dude. They only do this for greed. That said, a Micron 7450 Max is $270 for 800GB.

I can't tell from your reply if you are getting the point or not so here is an expanded version for you:
If they could save themselves the huge mountains of money to takes to create their own flash controllers, firmware, fabric and hardware design, and just buy a Micron 7450 Max and put that inside the computer, and still charge you $1000, they would do it. Because it means more profit for them, which is what they exist for.
But they didn't.
The same concept applies to say, the Red Mags, which are essentially mSATA SSDs in a metal box. Red takes on all the responsibility, claims, (reputational) damage for their product, but if they feel like they can make it happen with an mSATA SSD and still make lots of money, they will do it. They could use an SLC enterprise SSD, make a little less money and take a little less risk.
But they didn't.
