I think you’re spot on with cost increases even in the US to a point. Where Hill has made the unique impact is developing it as an experimental amateur-built. This approach has drawn in a very diverse group of people to include your 44 owners and surprisingly others who could never justify any rotorcraft. In all honesty, I think the only reason he received 1000+ slot buyers is because it is E/AB and the associated benefits/savings of that classification.
