The point is that a launch cost of $100k is totally manageable by a startup, which is very different than a decade ago.

The point is that $100k > $10k, so stating that "it's really not that expensive anymore" is false.

You're not the primary audience for this (yet).

This orders of magnitude cheaper than it used to be and will enable a broad wealth of new startups and applications in LEO. It's nothing short of a revolution.
