I think it's the nature of the people here, but given a choice between more money (in this case more than twice the cost of the standard ipac) and more work, they'll choose the latter.
It's not always true or anything, but it's the same thing that was discussed in one of the slikstik cabinet threads. People with money and little time will not likely be building their own cabinet, and people with less money and more time will probably be more inclined to do the wiring themselves. Though the price is a lot lower than the slikstik cabinets, wiring up an ipac requires a whole lot less work, and nowhere near the same material/space requirements (tools, workspace, knowhow etc.).
::shrug:: just my $.02, it still seems like a good idea though, I'm just not sure whether there's a market for it or not.
