    You’re saying they should have included the stand and raised the price of the monitor by $1k ?

    The target audience for this monitor usually doesn’t need a stand, so it makes sense to sell it separately.

      The stand costs like 15$ to produce (including machine time, material cost and shipping) I bet you can find dozens of chinese clones for under 100$ that function equally as well or better.
