I agree. If you look at their demonstration boards the only motor application that is missing is a regular DC motor application which is generally the most trivial. I don't know if they plan on making money with the Jaguar. Some companies adopt a loss leader approach to these products while others tend to price their products to correspond to the cost of manufacturing.

As far as I know the current plan is to distribute them via Digikey, for any controllers needed on top of what's included in the kit

That is not good. Digikey tends to mark up the prices from the manufacturers prices. Not by that much but it is a little irritating to pay ten dollars more.
