No, people will buy it. Look, they are standing in line to buy third gen sticks to save 2lbs!$350! I paid $65 for my bandit. I can add a predator pack if I want and many other than pouches and be well under 350. Say what you want about Aaron Synder but Kifaru has been building proven packs in the USA for a long time. Tethrd lost their damn mind.
You going to spend your money on what floats your boat. Not a style of pack I would want, but it will work for a lot of guys and gals.
