It seems like some company there (besides Apple), should seize the opportunity to differentiate themselves on quality, and deliver supply-chain controlled "boutique" hardware, which I'm certain many would shell out for.
I'm thinking the op was imagining something in the middle ground. Maybe +10–40% for a guarantee of quality. The case I can think of is Anker for cables although in that case they also don't charge a premium either.
There’s no money in it and the XDR is a vanity project. Too expensive for the person who isn’t grading marvel movies but not quite hitting the actual specs needed to grade a marvel movie.
Meaning the only people buying it are top tier youtubers
