That's true, and the blogger is really demonizing Prentke Romich without much knowledge of how much they have invested in this product, and what the payoff price-point is. I suspect there is a fairly limited market base for this technology and in order to get a return on that investment, even $7000 might be a bit low. Then, some up start decides to steal it out from under them by taking their likely very expensive research and development and copying it verbatim.
Maybe it is the App developer that needs to be demonized a bit.
