Nonsense.... RV's and a lot of other homebuilts have far better
performance and fuel economy for the "50 to 100K". I can afford a
homebuilt because of the fuel economy and maintaining it myself for far
less than a certified. Just finished a 2300 mile round trip to west
coast. It took about 14 leasurly hobbs hours including 8 stops, using
118 gals of Avgas. Try that in a Skylane.

The main losers are the many who start a homebuilt project and never
finish it, having to sell their unfinished work for half price.
