The article doesn’t try to do that at all.

It just points out that these bags do need to last 6 years so they aren’t throwaway items.

In fact, towards the end it points to how some schools are managing to achieve the same with $60 bags “ran-bags”.

I think you’re reading too much into it if you think the article is trying to justify the cost.

It’s trying to explain the cost, which is driven by the fact that these are hand made and have a ton of parts and also need to last many years.
