Could I source my own stuff from China to compete for $50? Perhaps on the surface; but not from a practicality standpoint. Not from a fit, finish, durability and plug-n-play standpoint.
I am a father of three and was more than willing to pay a premium for a great, well though-out product that took the guesswork out of it all to get the look I wanted. So were a lot of other folks. It has nothing to do with intellect and everything to do with time and priorities.
Just because I know how to grow corn and raise an animal doesn't mean I want to plow up my yard and bring livestock home. I go to the grocery store.
I understand Nightowl struggled in the end and decided the fight wasn't worth it anymore for a lot of reasons, but I still don't get that some people can't admit it was a great option for a lot of us. No regrets from me.

I hate to burst your bubble but a lot of that stuff you are talking about comes from China originally and gets re-branded over here. Those asians pretty much have the market cornered on that sort of stuff.I know for a fact the Oracle halo kits are all asian original equipment,not sure about Night Owl but I bet if you dig around the web you will find the parts are there.The only difference is you may have to wait 6 weeks for it to arrive lol.
