That's not too surprising since it's Pi based, and that stuff is really expensive. The PCBs in those 2 links also look to use a lot of through hole parts, and are not optimized for low cost mass production.
The JetKVM looks to use a cheaper SBC probably with a custom PCB actually designed to be cheap to produce, so it doesn't have the Pi premium slapped on it.
