Outside of your/our tech bubble people don't think the same way, and don't care about this. You know what is cheaper than everything that you mentioned there? The "free" ISP router and not building a home lab because they don't need it. They don't have 10G, racks, and home labs for the same reason you don't have 40/100/200G and an actual data center. Or anything that's so much outside of your field and passion that you can't even imagine it. I have friends that think 6000E is the least they can pay to get a decent bicycle.
