For making a product with UltraScale+, you do not need a dev kit. You may use e.g. the KRIA K24 SOM ($250) or the KRIA K26 SOM ($325) (the sizes of the FPGAs differ for these variants). For designing a product with these SOMs, you can buy a few cheap development boards (the development boards including a SOM are cheaper than the SOM bought separately, so obviously they cannot be bought in big quantities) like the Kria KD240 Drives Starter Kit or the Kria KV260 Vision AI Starter Kit or the Kria KR260 Robotics Starter Kit. You may buy these SOMs as single units at higher prices or as hundreds at discounted prices at many distributors. These SOMs include 2 GB or 4 GB DRAM memory, QSPI or eMMC flash memory and some interfaces, like USB 3, Ethernet, PCIe Gen2 x4, transceivers suitable for HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort 1.4 etc. and the FPGAs include quadruple Cortex-A53 + double Cortex-R5 cores, which can initialize the FPGA or reconfigure it remotely whenever desired and which can run a Linux OS. The FPGA also includes a Video Codec Unit, but that is limited to an aggregated resolution of 4kp60 (i.e. either a single 4k stream or up to 32 lower resolution streams), and also a Mali GPU and a (slow) DisplayPort controller that can be used as the video output for the operating system run on the Arm cores.
