“at this stage”
There is no indication they will ever leave this stage. I believe they generally sell at cost, even for working products. The purpose is to advance the technology, not to make a profit. But, the manufacturing and NRE costs need to be paid somehow.

They seem to miss the point that the community wants products like these to tinker with and don't mind doing some legwork to get things functional. It's not ideal, but its better than nothing.
