DSL and 10BASE-T1L are not quote the same.

10BASE-T1L PHY fits on a single chip, without much of analog trickery, and the whole line encoding, signal processing is much simpler.

10BASE-T1L is what will go into 1 dollar devices, not a $100 modem.

Which is why this $150 media converter product feels bit baffling tbh.

It's a low volume product. If there were a 100k produced the cost would be substantially lower. Not that many people need 1.6km 10Mbps connections, and many of those that do need a 1.6km connection will want more than 10Mbps.
