I would expect a purpose built product didn't have a whole lot of OOBE problems. Same company also does Atheros radios and they're $100 a piece.
I'd guess the problem is that the hardware they built depends on components that don't extend that wide range of frequencies. It's like if you made one product versus a million, cost per unit goes way down.
