The movie M3gan has a whole conversation about this

>the prototype costs millions of dollars but they're confident that with mass production she'll cost "more or less than a car"
>it's brought up that this is still a tremendous price for what's essentially a toy but the exec states with confidence that kids tire of their favorite toys quickly but M3gan is a "lifelong friend" and that upper middle class parents will gladly take financing plans
>even at tens of thousands of dollars she'd actually save many households money if they don't have to hire tutors or babysitters

Also the "being raised by an iPad" analogy is brought up directly and ironically M3gan is already better than that because she has an actual interest in her charge being hygienic/educated/healthy/etc.
