The Unitree Go1 seems the most promising among the affordable ones.

Would you know whether it’s feasible for hobbyists to make one of these at home by assembling components

Probably, but not at the price point of $2700.

It would probably be $25k-$50k and 1-3 years of development time depending on your skill set.

Kind of, see: https://odri.discourse.group/

It is indeed pricey though, IIRC the cost of a Boston Dynamics Spot-like robot came down to around $6-7k. There is still room to drive the price down though.
