A bit because of this, for sure.

I've watched a few teardown videos every now and then, and it seems they've improved a bit over the years. First models had terrible hinges, that got dirt trapped in them and broke them. Now apparently that's a solved issue.
They've even managed to make it hard to fold them the wrong way around.

There's definitely a lot of complexity involved, including some kind of weird ultra-thin glass that is flexible enough to fold, but also protects the screen from scratches from dust in your pockets (cause if you try to actually scratch the folding screen with something serious... yeah... zero protection).

But considering everything, it is an interesting achievement. And while the need is niche, as long as someone finds use out of it, and the companies are making their money back, who am I to complain.
