Amazing how little these have changed over the years. Including the price. I feel like they should be much faster and cost $50 tops

TI is functionally a tech company. There are plenty of companies out there that simply produce calculators with stagnant tech that do 90% of what people need a calculator for. The extra cost covers the last 10% and that's all R&D for batteries, software, and supporting platforms. Production of the device alone is likely much less than half the cost
