OK, I see that an Indy went for about the same price as a SPARCstation 5 in 1993. I knew about the low-cost Indy, but not that it was that low cost (for a UNIX workstation, about $5000).

Maybe you also didn't know that it was marketed as a web server and in that capacity, was quite a bit more widely deployed than you might expect for such a machine ..
I easily spent $5000 on PC hardware in that era, just sayin’…
You could pay that much I guess, which would get you a Pentium in 1993.
