My guess is the majority of people (99%-myself included) do not want to build an amp. Just as I have a guy at my house installing a floor today for $1400. There are people that will tell me thats way too high because I could do it myself for $600. But I'm not a floor guy and I'm not an electrical guy. The comparison between builders is valid to decide what value the Fender logo has to the buyer.

I'm saying that they could charge less if they really wanted to.
