I'm not talking about ATM - so why do you compare it to a build-your-own? Not a fair comparison, and quite frankly a completely irrelevant statement. In relation to other minimal truss designs that are commercially available it IS cheap. Not sure why you feel the need to keep shooting these posts down because you can and will build your own for less? Sheesh!
$100 in material? Maybe. I doubt that there would be any overly exotic materials in them. For what they're charging it is certainly not worth the time I'd take to design, and then build one (through several development iterations I venture to say). Absolutely no contest. My Tak Mewlon is probably only worth a couple of hundred in raw materials too - just tell me where to buy one at that price. I'm keen!
Better still, I'll give $100 to build me one. Can I pick it up next week some time?
