I disagree. The family struggling to provide housing, food, clothing, healthcare is not going to have that kind of money available. We in our affluence have lost sight of the conditions most people have in their daily lives.
I can well afford them but I don't intend to buy anything that over-hyped and over-priced.
Right now IMO they are a niche "feel good" product. Nothing more. The price has got to come down dramatically for LED to be anything else.

A niche market is the subset of the market on which a specific product is focusing. So the market niche defines the specific product features aimed at satisfying specific market needs, as well as the price range, production quality and the demographics that is intended to impact. It is also a small market segment.
A market segment of people with ample income as to be able to discount and ignore the high cost of a product.
