Yes, it is closer to $17k USD for an actual custom chair that will meet individual needs (which can't be bought on amazon) instead of a one size fits most kind of thing.
The customization is actually incredibly important for quality of life reasons, because it isn't just physical measurements, but also things like proper weight distribution tunes to how the person sits in and uses the chair. Sure, you can get a chair for $600, but there is a non zero chance that the throttle will be touchy and the balance will be off, sending you backwards onto the floor every time you move.
My dad got his when it was time. It fit him perfect (absolutely needed a custom chair given his condition), but when he sat in it the joystick was really twitchy. I told him he just needed to be patient and take it in (or demand home service in his case) until they got the settings right, but I think something about it embarrassed him and he didn't want to use it anymore.
