If you walk into a nice cigar store with couches and there's a guy smoking a stick that you could never afford - do you envy or criticize him? If you're into RC airplanes and some guy shows up with a four-engine C30, do you think "Oh, that's over the line"? If somebody in a Ferarri pulls up next to your Miata, do you compare hairlines or do you give him a nod? I have to try to appreciate that in any hobby there are people who are much more into it and have the priorities and good fortune to spend more than I would on it.

I also have no idea what the startup cost is for small batch production of a product like that would be, so maybe it's comparable to having something custom machined (not to mention the value of the design). It's outside my budget of course but it's not necessarily wrong to charge that kind of price.
