when that happens? If a business model does not adjust to market
trend$, then sooner or later, they will have to eat their own demise.

The DR is being targetted squarely at the business customer, for whom $900 is really neither here nor there. I honestly don't think that they are particularly interested in the "mass market". There's room out there for specialist suppliers as well as mass market ones.
