OK, I'll bite....You expect your Ferarri to be in perfect running condition----Now here is the REAL world....Ferarri's do break, as well as other expensive cars. I think that you have unachievable expectations from things that have a high price tag. The very high performance nature of this facet of the hobby subjects itself to the limits of design(s). (By-the-way, Ferarri did not make cars what they are today---Henry Ford did. Henry's inovations, engineering, and marketing get the credit. Same with BV)

As far as prices go, let me put it to you this way....You are at a high priced department store and you need a pair of Levi's. The price on the Levi's is $49.99/pair. You know that another place has them for $29.99/pair. You have a choice---get the Levi's there (convenience) or get in your car and drive across town to the other store. (inconvenient but saves money) The choice is yours. No need to ***** about it.
