That's a good point I suppose, but as the sport grows, it's would be good to have off-the-peg options for beginners. Mountain biking started off with bodged cruisers, then custom-made frames with adapted components, then mass-production models which gradually got more realistically priced.
Polo has its own versions of the first two examples (adapted track bikes etc, custom builds), the next stage is a production model to help push the sport to non bike nerds.
