I'm not sure this is an accurate statement. I purchased a 16-port
linksys managed 10/100/1000 switch a year ago for $200, and it looks
like there are managed switches for < $100 now:

I've been seeing VLANs, jumbo frames, trunking, CLIs, SNMP monitoring,
etc. getting added to a lot of the cheap entry level switches. I'm
assuming they are adding these features to stand out in the consumer
space, even though your "average" consumer has no idea how to use
these features.
