I'm a bit dumbfounded by the price tag of $189. Am I wrong?

It is a bit pricey, but probably not overpriced. This kind of niche product is not going to get good economies of scale, those custom molded plastic parts are going to get pretty expensive when not being produced by the million.

They do if you insist on molding them, but for small runs 3D printing ought to provide a baseline maximum cost.
