Thanks to trickle-down economics, combined with the idea that corporations are in business purely to make as much money as possible, we now have a highly stratified society with wealth extremely concentrated at the top. A million dollar system is not a problem for some people, while a thousand dollars is impossible for virtually everyone else. Manufacturers are only going to be able to survive either by appealing to one or the other - there is no middle left to speak of.
And that million dollar system is really only there as a big middle finger to impress the less wealthy. There must be virtually zero correlation between wealth and audiophilia! No wonder the snake oil contingent seem to be doing so well.
