Why is the high end stratospheric?

I think this article has at least part of the answer:

To your own ears and wallet be true, but I will always fight against seeing prices as the way we determine quality.

If you want to settle it’s no skin off my nose. I did not create reality. As Bob Dylan says at the end of all his songs, good luck to you.

Wake up and smell the coffee? On the other hand “the high end” is not defined by cost. So, who cares?
