>Epson stopped making their flatbeds that do film

I don’t understand this… the V850 Pro is still being publicly sold with film and slide trays… what am I missing?

And even eBay is selling them at only about $1,200-1-700 CAD, which is considerably cheaper than the 2,000+ CAD MSRP.

All the cheaper models that used to exist are gone. So the entry price went from like $300 MSRP to something much higher.
Are you taking about other models like the v600 and v700? Because I’m not. I’ve never really seen those models with film scanning tools, it was usually only the v850 that came with film scanning tools. So I have always expected to have to stump up for a v850 if I wanted to do film scanning.
