Probably because in the USA people aren't as willing to work for peanuts as people in the PRC?

Because suckers continue to pay.
I have not paid that for my lifetime total of smart phones.
Sure, my phone is out of date and some lesser stats. But for half the performance (which used to be called great performance at one time) I pay 5% the price.

Sad reflection of the realities of manufacturing, I suspect. They won’t ever achieve the kind of scale you’d need to make it cheaper.
IMO it is what it is. Especially when you consider the hardware kill switches etc this is a niche product that the right small audience will pay $1.2k for.

I believe the USA manufactured version is the “Liberty Phone” starting $2199. The regular Librem appears to be made in China. https://puri.sm/products/liberty-phone/

Because they need to fund the refunds from previous people who bought it.
