Anecdata: I found this device interesting when I first saw it announced. I kinda want one. I think I saw it at a $250 price point, and it was already out of my ballpark. If I was buying it for business use, it'd be justifiable at higher.

For personal use, you already priced me out, so who cares? For hobbyists outside of the Silicon Valley-tier of salary, you've already priced most home buyers out, I could spend $300 on TinyPilot, or I could spend $300 on an entirely new server.

That's interesting, thanks!
You could divide your product into hobbyist and enterprise product lines, and sell support plans for enterprise for some recurring revenue.
For example, sell hobbyists a 3d printed case (and a PoE hat?), and tell them Bring Your Own Pi. Sell 100% turnkey units to businesses.
