It, and everything else, are worth exactly what people are willing to pay for them.
Of course, but I wasn't questioning that it was worth that amount of money. I asked why.

Try and find a new computer with Windows 7 installed. There aren't many. I'm not even sure if the big names still offer the "downgrade".
Microsoft allows you to downgrade all copies of Windows 8.1 Pro to either Windows Vista Business or Windows 7 Professional. That is provided by Microsoft, it's not up to the OEM.
What if I don't want to?
It's a suboptimal choice of words. You're still allowed even if you don't want it.
XFS isn't newer than ext4.
Depends on how you look at. XFS is continuously developed and improved, they just don't stick a version number after it like the ext developers.
PostgreSQL has had PL/R since 2003.
Which is nice but doesn't really do anything for you if you're not using PostgreSQL, for example those using SQL Server.
I'm not reallyd sure that I understand that point. To me, thst would sound reasonable for educstionsl Ãr entertainment purposes, but are there any other meaningful reasons for writing an entire OS in assembler?
Today, not that much apart from looking cool. Not a lot of programmers know assembly that well anymore so writing a non-trivial operating system completely with it is definitely something to put on the resume. It used to be necessary to use assembly get good performance, but since the late 80's and early 90's it's not really necessary anymore on personal computers.
it's in trying to resolve problems later on, when you'll find that systemd helps you obscure the source of the trouble instead of resolve it.
Obscured in what way?
