Well, duh...he was *selling* them for thousands of dollars. :-) More seriously, yes I think you're correct that he seems to hold the siddhis up as some kind of 'standard' for enlightenment, but he is one of the only spiritual teachers I've encountered who does. Without exception, all of the others I've seen personally have said just the opposite, that there is no connection whatsoever between the ability to manifest siddhis and enlightenment.
