200 is much less than the value you’re supposed to get out of it. If it’s not then yeah go ahead and use cheaper models with worst quality
I'm not sure how I'm supposed to get $200 of value out of personal use!
Unless that value is $200 cash in hand it will be hard to afford it for people who just don't have $200.
Last time you bought a computer, did you buy the absolute fastest best CPU available?
I've actually come to believe the overwhelming majority of use cases require nowhere frontier quality so there's that. Much faster execution is just a bonus on top of the much reduced cost
Are you aware of how much purchasing power 200 dollars is in china, brazil, thailand or india is? This is an extremely arrogant take.
