>$100 for someone in SV isn’t much. $100 USD for someone in Africa, India, some parts of Asia could be a week or even months salary.

That's kinda irrelevant. A Macbook Pro is still around $2k USD whether you're in US, EU, LATAM, Africa or India. They don't sell it cheaper to people in developing nations just because they earn less money.

And that developing countries do have access to the internet too.
