> There is only a finite number of people willing/able to spend $1k on a mobile phone.

A small modification.

The two values you're comparing differ by 60x.

Is a car 60x more useful than a phone? (Honest question, and probably varies by user. Though most cars last longer than most phones.)

Well, the point is that it’s 60x more expensive.

The question is - does the price match the utility - does the 60x cost device provide 60x utility?

Were these developers, I'd ask if the $900k developer is 60x better than the $30k administrator.

Were these knives and forks, I could ask YouTube.
