It is likely extremely cheap to manufacture. Canon can then set an imaginary price of $299, knowing that nobody will actually pay that. But they can run promos and charge $100 for it while bundling it with an R8, or even give it away for free during Black Friday or similar. Then people think they've made a good deal. It will likely be very sharp and take decently beautiful pictures. But it has been deliberately constricted in its usefulness so as to get people to come back and buy more lenses (where the big money is in).
