I bet you'd sell a lot more at 1/4 the price with fixed gear,
no flaps, 30:1 glide and higher wing loading.

In my experience, non-pilots are happier with glider rides,
and pilots want soaring rides. The 2-32 rides that succeed seem
to be in places with no lift or ridge lift, and are high tows
of short duration with little turbulence or "excitement."

The best part of these flights for the pax seem to be the great
visibility, smooth ride, and quiet sightseeing, for a reasonable price.
This isn't quite in line with the specs you suggest.

This is easily within the state-of-the-art.
At what price? $200,000 each? $100,000 each? $50,000 each?
The venerable 2-32s sell briskly at $40-$50k.

Every commercial ride operator
in the world would want one and so would some wealthy individuals and clubs.
Say, maybe a market for 300+ gliders?

At $50k yes, at $100k maybe, at $200k no.
