It's still a cost. And one that will be passed on to you the customer. Also means that they will have to have more on hand in the factory's warehouse to service the current guns that have these breechs and this gun. Warehouse space is always limited.
Adding a gage... same kinda deal. and cost passed to you. so thats at least 4 more parts to keep on hand (see factory warehouse comment above). If those 4 parts dont already exist for other guns, now you have to make/order these parts, again at a cost that'll be passed to you. Adding the gage also means additional engineering-for both the gage and the airtube--increases the cost of the airtube (as now there's another step to drill the hole for the gage). Gage also means increased assembly time, and that cost will be passed to you. the trigger can be made a lot better with the "3 screw mod". Yes its plastic, but a) it already existed, thus no additional development for it b) it's 120 dollar gun.
This platform was designed to meet a particular market segment, at a certain price point. The things being complained about are the compromises made to meet that price point. This gun isnt for everybody. There are plenty of other guns out there with steel breeches and gages. But they are NOT US$120.oo
