Then there's the content of what he said- just one example being the 2x- 3x fe gain claim. Don't think I'll sweep that under the rug.

I have no problem with it. They can afford it and it serve the double-purpose of free advertising (celebrities come with built-in advertising). I consider it to be analogous to hybrid drivetrains being offered at first in high-profit-margin luxury SUVs rather than slim-profit-margin econoboxes. It helps defray costs for the manufacturer, and (hopefully) later on allows the technology to filter down in the long run.
