nope.
the electronics required to run that thing can't possibly cost more than about $300.
They will sell them for 5-6 figures indefinitely.

Yeah, but with 5-6 figure of profit to be made on each unit, you'll have a dozen private companies selling them at half the current market price, until they cost little more than a high quality RC.
except that the regulations you have to jump through to be able to sell require political handjobs.
most people aren't connected enough, or slimey enough to do that.
Thus limiting it to 2 or 3 'best in class' companies.
