Damned few people with the necessary skill levels, though.
Because few people have an interest in developing them, the skills themselves aren't that hard to develop. I think a lot of people look at long range shooting, imagine it as some kind of real time jig saw puzzle made up of rubik's cubes to get the right dope and pull the trigger and intimidate themselves out of trying it.

Intro setup cost doesn't help either though.

I note that my father used the GI powder charge with 150-grain Hornady bullets from his sporterized Springfield (Weaver K6) and was witnessed in killing deer (offhand stance) to 500 yards. IOW, skill = doable for some people.
Very doable, if he's getting a new setup though he might as well get something optimal for longer shots as opposed to something that will work.
