If one is doing experimental music, one is likely to devolop other
skills that will pay the rent such as soun design and production. 

Also I have to point out that the cost of bleeding edge and unusual
instruments is generally higher because the amount of people who use
these things is smaller, therefore the overhead for the builder may be
higher.

As it is modular synths are a speciality item and the higher end ones
are just not goning to attract people who aren't dedicated to learning
and devoloping a long term relationship with their instrumnets.

I am willing to bet that even a company like Doepfer sells vastly
smaller amounts of their more exotic modules.
