I can’t seem to find cost information for any of Pragmatic Semi’s parts, even their high volume RFID tags which are supposedly shipping.

The 6502 seems to be a technology demonstrator that has no commercial application, as there’s no corresponding low cost power supply for their parts. Because polymer semiconductors are only about 1% efficient, it takes way more power than an energy harvester could supply.
