Yes, but that's quite a premium to pay on the capex that will never pay off in prolonged opex

Show me any miner that has the same efficiency as a bitaxe. Only thing I can find close is the S19 XP Hydro, but not everyone can afford to run something like that. So getting a bitaxe at a bit of a premium and bit better efficiency without the full upfront cost or high electric bill, suits some folks better.
