I dunno, I think either you're doing a small run and you can just bake in a Teensy or whatever, or you're doing a big run and $6k is a drop in the bucket.

This is just plain wrong. Not every business is a megacorp or VC-backed unicorn.

Many, many products start life on a shoestring and small batch production runs.

There are other products that intentionally serve small markets, like people with disabilities.

For these organizations, $6,000 is not a trivial amount of money.
