As to the "skew" in the data set: There is 13 bikes in my my household. Counting the total number of dollars spent isn't really a fair comparison as most people don't have 13 bikes to keep up & running. TBH I really don't wanna know how many dollars that is in butt comfort.
What I'm getting at is there is no cost, comfort relation. The retail $25 Speed V & the $120 Brooks both are near equivalents to my rear end.
Maybe a better question is: "How much have you spent on a fashionable saddle brand & did reputation support the price you paid?"
It is understandable where the information might skew someone's data, however, the information isn't being gathered for statistical purposes. Should someone use the information in there data, the information is at their own risk.
BF members might amaze you with how many N+1 they have.
