It is no no where near $800 to fix the saw once triggered. I got a few cartridges last year for like $70 each.

The false positives can be problem and the cartridges are somewhat expensive. I've seen a few guys trade them back for regular saws. When the patent expires maybe the prices will come down a bit, because it is a pretty nice tool.
You're confusing "blade cartridge" with "brake cartridge".
This is not a blade.
"Compatible with all standard 10 inch blades".

$63 for the brake cartridge plus whatever the blade costs, a good 10" blade could cost $100 so $200 was a decent guess.
To be fair though those table saws can cost $10,000 if you get them industrial sized and all tricked out.
The brake is $65 and most of the time you'll want to replace the blade as well which is going to be anywhere from 50 to 150.
Did a quick Google hunt, seems you can get a 10" SawStop cartridge as cheap as $70 on Amazon, but the specialty ones seem to be slightly more expensive.
$69, plus a new blade.
You do know that every time that is used, it destroys itself and has to be replaced right?
Imagine that on a scale like an escalator where anyone who happens to press a button causes thousands and thousands of damages.
edit: $100 replacement , i'm thinking a scale of hundreds of thousands for a similar setup on a large scale
edit2: you could probably buy a whole new escalator for hundreds of thousands, idk how much the cost would be
It's not $1000 every time it fires... New saw-stop cartriges are about $80, and a new blade (which becomes destroyed in the process). So relatively cheap, considering you still have your fingers to count your $$$.
You can buy replacement brake cartridges (the only part that gets destroyed and needs replacing) on Amazon for 70 bucks. https://www.amazon.com/SawStop-TSBC-10R2-Cartridge-10-Inch-Blades/dp/B001G9MGZQ So the initial investment is having to buy the Sawstop at whatever price the guy is charging for his custom saw but after that it's only 70 bucks per finger not lost. Not a bad deal. Also he only makes the saws himself because he has to because no hardware company wanted to take on the risk of his idea potentially failing one time on one of their saws and them having to deal with the lawsuit. He never wanted to manufacture saws but when no one else would take it on decided it needed to be available to people and took it upon himself to do so. I saw a Youtube video about the SawStop once and then went down a bender of videos regarding the product because I thought it was so cool.
it is literally just a $US69 single component sensor that needs to be replaced - plus the cost of replacing the blade if the blade is damaged. (The blades aren't always damaged and usually don't need to be replaced)

Dado cartridges are a bit more expensive
My dad ended up putting a hinge with a board about 1x2 over the power controls. Drill a big enough hole to put your finger through to power it on, then a dowel or screw just over the off button. The board ran to the ground so all he has to do is slightly kick the end of the board to shut off the saw. Really simple and cheap way to hit the stop button quickly.
If you haven’t seen them already, there’s a product called sawstop.

I think this is amazing. If you watch videos and look at their Instagram page you’ll see how they work and people that have had them work. You’re left with basically a scratch. It completes a current when you touch the blade then jams and aluminum block to the blade stopping it and then sucks the blade down. I don’t know which saws it fits though and the only other draw back is you need a new blade after and it may trigger on wet wood.
Yup. You blow a 70 dollar cartridge plus wreck your blade:
