Maybe 10% of people like you would also pay for it at $1000/mo, and they're already solving for optimum profit (not revenue - presumably they have some marginal costs). Maybe they can capture the $1000/mo market first and then offer something very similar to those who are interested at $100/mo. Or they have capacity constraints where they can't scale up manufacturing to supply everyone who would buy it at $100, but they can validate their process at the higher price first.
