A lot of electronics sell for less than cost and break even/profit based on consumables. PS4s made a loss when they came out and Sony relied on games sales to correct that. The same was true of safety razors and blades 100 years ago and electric razors today.

Sadly this means products often arnt designed for you or me (I hate the idea of advertising built into Samsungs TV). But those are the economics in this situation...
