How does a high price benefit you as you own it already? Seems a bit egoistic. Maybe you're planning to sell it? Then I would understand your sentiment, but otherwise, seems a bit strange.
The price hike on TE's side doesn't really have anything to do with this, though. It's likely due to having to source old parts or finding new parts that are more expensive, and adjusting the design to accommodate.
Reassurance that the company is actually trying to be sustainable.
All to often niche physical products get it into their head that they can break a mass market, hire sales people to get them into retail which all starts the cycle of lowering the price, compromising the vision then they wake up a year later, their product completely devalued, it's gathering dust on store shelves at best or being sold off a fraction of the price at worst and your customer base hasn't grown.
