I just don't get why people buy a stationary bike for more money than a real bike and a cycle charger setup with a raspberry PI

probably because the average person doesn't want to tinker with shit and would rather it just work out of the box

fair, it is amazing how unwilling to repair shit people have become. It is like the 80s/90s computer junk cycle has spread into all other products.
