The phrase "prices...out of reach of people who can handle these machines"
sounds like you don't consider anyone with money to be technically
competent. I'm sure that's not what you meant... right?

I agree that this is not a legitimate thing over which to become angry,
but there is an issue that this is driving the prices up, out of reach of
people who can handle these machines, and into the reach of people who
want to encase them in plastic and put them into their 500 sq.ft. living
room. This is causing some hostility.
