ELP Laser Turntable & Trickle Down

ELP LASER TURNTABLE as most vinyl fans know is a turntable that uses a laser instead of a more conventional stylus. I read reviews on the audio critic site and out of the two reviewers the one who had a very high end table and arm combo,chose the ELP laser table this conventional combo. I am wondering why this technology has not trickled down the way Cd has with companies paving the way for cheaper machines and improving over time while becoming cheaper as the technology matures?

Trickle down requires production scale benefits (scale which inspires
competition, usually). I don't think we have come near that scale. I can count on
very few hands the number of times I have seen units for sale. As for the
number of people I know personally who have bought one, that I can count on
no fingers (though that's probably just sample issues).
