A big part of it is likely that you’ve just got a really poor quality printer.

Printer companies often sell printers at a loss in order to encourage people to actually buy them. They make up for that loss by jacking up the price of the ink (which is also why they fight so hard to keep their ink cartridges proprietary and non-refillable).

A side-effect of this is people have been conditioned to expect printers to fall within a certain price range, so whenever they see a decent printer sold at a reasonable price, they scoff at it.
