I think a lot of where people get angry is not because high priced gear
exists, it's because all this high priced gear comes with new "standards". No,
you don't need to buy the latest 11 speed gear and yes, for the time being,
you can buy some 9 speed stuff. But then it goes away. And in a year or two
when it wears out or breaks, you now have to replace the whole thing, or at
the very least work really hard to find a replacement.
