$200? That's a lot of money for many people.

As opposed to what? It's still less than half the price of a usable iPad (I know the Mini 2 is $270, but let's not pretend they're comparable), let alone Mac.
I think that's in response to the statement:

> anyone who says they can't scrape up $200 if they had to, is lying to you.

As opposed to someone working a minimum wage job & trying to eat decently, for example.
