+1 on your initial comment. Exactly how I feel about the current situation.

MilkV Oasis with SG2380 would be the end-game for majority of developers, but they are definitely loosing money if they keep starting price at 120 USD. They don't have it frozen (they changed the SoC specification some weeks ago) thus I wouldn't be surprised to see this slip into 2025. I wouldn't be surprised if this outperforms MilkV Pioneer.

They're counting on most purchasers not preordering, and thus not getting the preorder discount.

Which is a reasonable assumption to make. SG2380 will surprise many as it launches and gets reviewed and talked about.
