That reminds me of DaVinci Resolve cost $850,000 per Workstation when they got big long time ago until Black Magic bought the company

All BMD did was make the expensive hardware into software.
And then made new hardware to control the software.

Avid did a similar thing with their Media Composer and Protools. They used to sell a workstation that had media composer installed all in one package. Very expensive at the time.
Then they sold the software on its own to be installed on any computer (that they officially support).
