it's almost like everything matching the pi footprint is severely overpriced!

what you're generally paying for is support and community. havin people you can ask questions and knowing there's a good chance that soneone out there has both seen your issue and knows a fix is extremely valuable and worth the money if you're just trying to put together a small one off project.
Gotta pay for the cop doing surveillance device r&d somehow...

I like the picos. I think there’s a lot of bang for your buck in there for making little devices and prototyping.
There's a silver lining in raspberry pi and it's clones being so relatively expensive: they create a market and demand for hackable devices. In an age with so much pressure to plug every single digital hole, these devices bring some much needed market pressure to the opposite direction.
