Global Affordability Estimate:

Top 10% of global earners (~800M people) can afford a $2,000 device without major financial strain.

Top 25% (~2B people) could afford it with some budget adjustments.

Bottom 50% (~4B people) would find it prohibitively expensive.

So for a SV top income, maybe that might look more like the weekly pet brushing budget, but for most people out there this is not that much of a no-brainer.
