It was also $35 at release, not $15

You're roughly getting 150x the power for 10x the cost with the current price hike.

    Maybe in a vacuum, but in a world with millions or even billions of 'legacy' devices sitting around collecting dust that have equal or better compute power for less cost, these devices don't really make sense.
