Agreed that Apple has always had a bit of a blind spot slash high on their own supply thing when it comes to monitors. Remember that nice, flat, translucent 22" Cinema Display rocking in the new century for a cool $4k? I'll give them that they were the only things like it on the market at the time (the golden age of CRT ), but even after LCD monitors became ubiquitous 5 or so years later, Apple still came out with that 30" Cinema Display north of $3k. Cool factors aside, both of those monitors were a fair chunk of change at the times.

[edit]: just pulled out the ever trusty Mactracker and an inflation calc ($USD):
1999 Cinema Display: $3999 = $6671.75 in 2022
2004 Cinema Display: $3299 = $4854.16 in 2022

So, factoring in inflation the XDR is right in line for Apple, and $2500 for anything else AppleVision™ is a deal.

So it goes.
