If you go to McDonald's and you're driving a $100k car, guess what? The price of your happy meal goes up 300%.
Poor AMS, Those tuners like ESS, Mike Benvo etc. selling tunes for less than a $1,000, arent making a profit.

Does ESS offer a ECU reflash for the Fxx cars for under 1K?
Huge difference in a piggyback which is the same hardware for any car, but with different settings depending which car it's used on. Doing a full ECU flash on the Fxx currently involves paying a supplier (like BR Performance in Belgium) for the solution to break encryption and then R&D in rewriting the software to tune the car.
But, of course over time cost usually comes down, especially if these costs can be divided on a large number of sales. Like on the ESS E-Tronic tuner, which is the exact same hardware for all of the cars they offer it for. Many might even have the same software settings. And anyway, there are only very few parametres that can be adjusted on such a product so the R&D time/cost is just a fraction of doing a ECU flash...
IMO, a piggyback is like the dollar menu at McDonalds when a ECU flash is like having a 8 course meal at a fancy restaurant
