I think the SiP on the beaglebone black wireless is really cool, but it also seems to add cost. For board designers the SiP is a god send, for many reasons. But in cases like this where it adds additional costs to an "end product" . . . yeah.
Hopefully, once the sales of the SiP increase over time. The cost will come down.
