I can only comment on the price from my perspective, and for me $69 is just another part of my gear that I either need and buy, or don't need and leave behind. Some people complain at tools that cost $150 that do nothing but provide simple functions, but for professionals and production facilities that price is NOTHING compared to what they get out of the products. Many tend to forget that there are folks who don't just use such a product occasionally, but constantly. That's why Soundminer v4 is worth $600, and Nuendo users pay $2000. Hobbyists don't recoup money to spend on products like that. Thus they aren't worth that much to them.
