A simple 6GB GTX 2060 graphics card costs $1000 over here, do the math!
That's why these boards are widely sold in countries like Brazil, India, Russia, and other underdeveloped countries. The cost of living in an underdeveloped country is very high in relation to what the individual earns from his work.
The cheapest car in Brazil costs 8400 dollars
A simple Honda fit is considered a luxury car around here, costing 92,000 reais, or 17,500 dollars.
Maybe $17,500 isn't far from what it costs in the US, but as I said earlier, the average salary of someone living in the third world is only a fraction of the American salary, that's why judges, lawyers, Latino engineers, drop their professions and tear up their diplomas, to subject themselves to toilet washing in the united states.
An aunt of mine was a renowned lawyer, and worked at a large Brazilian bank. She left everything she had here to live in Texas, she cleans houses, and earns a better salary than she had in Brazil (in addition to much better living conditions).
It's quite common for people to live with their country until the day they die, because most people can't buy a house, sometimes they can't even rent a house, around here it's culturally acceptable. Some people might argue about socialist measures that exist in third world countries that don't exist in first world countries, like the free health care system, but this is all a big lie. Everything the government gives away (paid for with our taxes) is of terrible quality, people wait years for a free surgery (and usually die before they get it), unprepared doctors, buildings made of poor quality materials overpriced in the end... Life is the same hell as always, the only thing we can thank here is the tropical climate, and the absence of climatic disasters.
Sorry for the long text, I just want you to see things from another angle, to fully understand why some people prefer low quality stuff or fakes
