As an electrician who has wired controllers into lights, that aspect is not crazy expensive or anything, It is simply a matter of routing which LEDs to which driver and then that driver to the following control output. With how low the cost is on many cheap controllers I've seen on amazon and much more common software programs, I personally don't think their is a big reason for lights to cost so much other than they carry that name brand on it like Nike or Addidas.
I was looking into purchasing LEDs separately and building my own light from scratch, but my soldering skills may not be up to par... No pun intended...
