Consider this four-slice toaster on Amazon. I’m sure it is a fine product, but it is a toaster. It cooks bread. That’s all it does. It is not made of gold or platinum. No artisan hand-forged the metal or inlaid delicate filigree like a Faberge Egg. We are talking 1920’s technology here.
What I do find remarkable is not that a company is selling a $300 toaster, but rather that more than three hundred people actually bought one of these in the last month! I mean what were you thinking?
Look, I’m not judgemental. Well, maybe a little. Okay, often, but stick with me here. I may judge you by your politics, your face piercings, or your blue hair. How you spend your hard-earned money is your business. You work hard and want a sports car or a Bentley. Not my concern. If you want gold plated hardware in your bathroom, it is none of my business. If you collect guitars or guns, I say, whatever.
If you buy a $300 toaster you are a blithering idiot.

First of all, it a Wolf. Second, the ad uses the word innovative, so it has to be advanced technology, right? And, it can toast one slice at a time. This must need a huge counter to hold it. I agree with your analysis of the person who would buy this just because they say it is good.
Worse, it's $399, not $300. So nearly $400.
Apparently from the comments it was nearly $700 at one point

I’ve had my eye on a SMEG

The world is made up of blithering idiots, unfortunately.
Toaster we had for 40 years conked out a month ago.
Trip to Wally World- We find a Black and Decker Two-slicer for $19.99.
Made in China, I doubt it will last 40 years.
You could build a Wafflebot for that amount! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhVeO77ee2I
