How did the market support all these weird inventions that required so many unique, precise components?

CD's, LP's, 8-tracks, CRT's, minidisc, microcassettes, VHS, Jaz and Zip drives, laserdiscs. Needed lasers, magnet sensors, tiny motors, gears and whatnot.

Today everything seems to be a chip in a box and still it's often more expensive.
