I've never been able to afford it (though it looks interesting) even at the current price so I know I won't be able to do so if they raise it up either.

That's not an Amazon thing, that's a business thing. As has already been said, it is pretty much the definition of poor: that you can't afford things. It is hardly within the scope of a business to provide things to people who can't afford it, that is what we call welfare.
