Also, you seem to be approaching this from, "they're screwing me over because I want Di2 - waaaah!" Maybe you should be looking at it as, "damn, that mechanical set-up is aggressively priced!"
For $4500, you get:
$2.5k frame
$1.5k groupset
$1.2k carbon wheels
$600+ worth of carbon bars, stem, carbon seat post, saddle
$100 in tires
