It’s Blackmagic so it’s going to be reasonably priced

In the post-production world blackmagic sets the price floor. None of their hardware is priced for consumer use.

Reasonsbly priced for professional use doesn't have to translate to a price a reasonable person would pay for home entertainment.

Right. Maybe you can rent it for one day for cheap though ! Pros needs continuous use so buying makes sense for them
