Jim, it would make sense that with fewer electronics an engine should cost less. That is not the case with MYH products. I have some standard gauge (wide gauge) MTH and the pricing with or without all the electronics is exactly the same.
But your points are well-taken.

It was a quality product, and though expensive, was much cheaper than buying brass. And it would have been at least some cheaper without the TMCC. BUT, HOW big is the "Scale" demand vs the "HI-Railer" demand???? THAT should tell the story and I doubt very much the question can be answered. I am in a group running 18 trains at this time, 2 HO are "Scale", the rest are "tinplate" to Hi-Rail depending on the day & hour. I know guys buying "L" ( the good stuff ) stripping & gutting it and converting it to "Scale" operation. At least they were until MTH made it easier for them to avoid that hassle.
