Most of the cost is the display.
Two versions are not needed.

Two versions of software and packaging practically doubles NRE costs. Once the SW is done there is no extra cost at all no matter how many are shipped.
Also tooling costs and custom chips are astronomical. Again, to sell to corporate and domestic users is no extra cost for one model.
