Much to expensive to be widespread. Look at computers today, a dime a dozen. Give it time and the expense will be way down and facilitate purchasing for all.

Check out the cost of this Apple in 1977:

Check the cost now of this Apple in 1987:

A good price drop and for a better set up. Give it time, the cost will be low eventually.
