That's correct for most people in first world countries who have a Canon, but it's for other mounts too.If you are planning on using it on a tripod, I could imagine uses, but as has been mentioned before, the RF 600mm f/11 (stabilised and AF) is not hugely more expensive and, despite the naysayers, is a really good lens.
In first world countries, there is probably young people who rely on their parent's who most likely don't understand how expensive lenses can be.
I know teachers a few in Southeast Asian countries who only make the equivalent of about $500 a month. They have to buy food and gas, pay rent, and save for possible repairs to their car or make car payments. It doesn't leave much for anything else, so I can imagine people in similar situations might not want to almost save for twice as long.
So, that's three groups I can think of and I guess the management at TTArtisan would know about more groups than that.
