It's not the logic that's expensive, it's the solid state relay suitable for high power, high frequency switching
I don’t need MHz switching. A few kHz would be better than just turning it on for 1 second out of 10 for “low power.”
Still can't do it with a cheap SSR or a mechanical relay
By "expensive" we're still only talking a dollar or two. It's not going to spike their cost to the point where it would be prohibitive to them.
