And it’s time consuming partly because so few are made.
I guess the unit price could come down by 90% or more if you were to order a million of them, and could convince a manufacturer that you’re good for the money.
(And you may get something that’s superior, for example because they figure out that, at a million copies, extra money spent improving the software for adaptive optics can be more than made up by making the hardware a bit less rigid)
We’re spoilt by the amazing efficiencies of mass manufacturing.
