If your opensource hardware costs the same or more than an apple product i dont want it. it just reeks of tech bro liberalism tbh
Stuff is just more expensive to make at a small scale, especially if it's made well with modular components (which tends to happen with open-source devices)
For example, the MNT Reform may be 1,200 euro, but it also has a milled aluminum chassis, a mech keyboard, and a custom-designed mainboard, along with being hand-assembled
None of those are cheap

You can also always compare their bill of materials to what it would cost you to make it yourself
