Maybe I’m missing how this is revolutionary for $130 grand. Not that I wouldn’t want one.

For a new amphib, that's market value. Certification/development costs are incredible (I know, I've been involved in prototyping aircraft designs). So much of the cost now is in the avionics. It's not unusual to have over $50K in the dashboard alone. Although the FAA allows for the LSA certification, they still need liability insurance, which ain't cheap.
