PoE seems off for the target audience of this device. In all likelihood the most prevalent mode of network access is going to be via wifi.

So if you just duct-taped the pi to the keyboard, you'd already be $2 (plus tape) over the RRP of the 400. The bit I don't get is why use an ethernet transformer at all, especially if they're not reaping the benefit from it.
