The 50mm/f1.0 is even $1,500… 
First, I advise you to move this thread to General Discussion in the news forum. It is less about photos and more generic Fuji.
I fully agree that the newer Fuji cameras and lenses become increasingly expensive. That is a general trend in the market. A Sony A1 of $6,500 was unthinkable 5 years ago… Next to all sorts of resource issues (chip shortage, transport issues, rare earth metals…) we see price increases, due to declining markets. The camera market (compact + interchangeable lens) declined by 90% between 2010 and 2020. So R&D and manufacturing costs need to be spread over a smaller number of cameras and lenses.
However, we also see full-frame cameras going down-market. Priced right into aps-c territory. The costs of the image sensor make up less of the overall costs compared to 5y ago. Only the very new, high-res BSI sensors remain pricey, but the basic 24mp full-frame sensor is more or less the same priced compared to a 24/26mp aps-c sensor.
You can argue whether a Sony A7C or a Nikon Z5 is as good overall as an X-T4, but if you value the benefits of full-frame, now is the time to move. For me, the Fujifilm sweetspot is the compact lines (X-S10, X-T30, X-E4…) and the smaller lenses (f2 primes and budget zooms). The fast primes, red badge zooms, X-T4 and later on X-H2 are indeed in full-frame territory and esp. interesting for those who are very Fuji-minded.

Everyone has been so great to me since I joined this forum/thread. So, I thought I'd share pics of my latest addition to my XH-1. I have to admit that I've pretty much kept the Fujifilm battery grip on the XH-1.....until now ;)
I was lucky enough to snag one of the last J.B. Design grips for the XH-1 Mr. J.B. had in the backroom. He was even kind enough to drop in the mailing package a beautiful matching camera shoe cover! Now that classes up the whole rig. If only it would do the same for me personally ;)
Even better than looks, the rich red Padauk wood grip makes the camera incredibly comfortable in my hand. Even with my small right hand, my little pinky was waving in the wind. Because of the wooden extension, on the right side of the camera now fits even more comfortably in the palm of my hand. 
For those that might be curious this grip does not extend the camera's front finger grip. Of course, I don't think the XH-1 needs that kind of extension. At least this is true for my hand. 
The other benefit of course is that the camera is lighter in weight compared to the XH-1 with Fujifilm's battery camera grip. This substitution of course gives you one battery in the camera. But there is an access port, carved out, on the bottom to the grip that makes battery exchanges easy. And yes, the back LCD screen does fully articulate with the grip in place.
Now I just have to find a reddish leather camera wrist strap for a complete camera make-over.
I do not know if J.B. will ever put these into production again. If you hit him up, and he agrees let him know "Crazy Bill" sent you ;)
I also have one of the J.B. grips on my Pro-3 and enjoy that combination too.
