Maybe his cost of materials and effort for each copy is greater than with software. With software people already have the trial installed they just need the key to activate it so materials for each copy are much cheaper for them. They could charge $500 for version where you can call customer support for free and $100 for a version where you can't. The manufacturing cost is not lower for them if they sell crippled version of the software.
