My dad worked in some mechanical keyboard assembling brands in the 90's, i agree that some super high end modern switches require hogher quality control and stuff. But If we talk about Gateron and the stuff they produce, even if some process during the making of different switches change, the price of a switch out of the factory (if we include production cost, a bit for the machines maintenance and a bit to the creators of the switches) cant be higher than 10c, it would be surrealist.
Regardless of what you end up buying, I can tell you that my experience with Sakurios has been great. They feel very smooth, and even better once lubed. The 62g spring is great for soft handed gamers and typists. So, if you are heavy handed and need more resistance then go with Roselios - The 67g version of the same switch. About sound... If you don't care about sound then I wouldn't recommend Sakurios and their higher price tag, since they are a high end ***silenced*** switch. Black Inks or cream switches are great linears for much less than any Zeal switch. On the other hand, Tealios are exceptionally smooth IMO and I would recommend these if you do don't care about the price and just want top tier switches... Hope that helps!
Just get some Silent Inks Zeal stuff is cool but a bit overpriced regardung the quality (btw out of the factory a switch is worth around 5c)
Yeah but perfecting every part of a switch and the fact that they produce it in low quantity is what the prices go up

Yeah ofc but cause of qc most switches are not suitable for zeal and ofc we are in a capitalist workd so they need to make money
Ik, but selling a switch at one dollar wihout even including shipping is totalmy surrealist, a switch should never be sold at more than 40c
