It seems awfully silly to argue that it costs the same once you add in the price of a retail monitor. You're just saying that the price of the computer is negligible to the setup. They don't manufacture the peripherals, it's weird to blame them for not magically also dropping the price of those other things that they don't make or sell. Besides, it's pretty easy to get free mouse/keyboard/screen via donations from companies or individuals who upgrade if you're that worried about cost.
