The internet is full of self-promoted "reviewers" who buy any device, unbox it, "use" it for 5 minutes - obviously without reading the manual, then post any BS about it they can think of. This insubstantial clickbait is best ignored.

In other words whatever YOU think is not overpriced to you it must also NOT be overpriced for everyone else. It does not look I can explain how ridiculous your statement is. And I am NOT saying Hasselblad is overpriced, yet I can easily understand how many can think that. Price is always a relative phenomenon.
Of course you are quoting price points of some quite specific and in fact limited in long term quality models, which some would advise NOT to get, but well, when nothing but the badge will do, it makes no difference for this argument.
The problem with $35 Holgas is they're overpriced.True, not everyone needs or wants a Hasselblad. I think you can buy a new Holga for around $35.00
I wouldn't use a Holga if it is given to me. I would try to sell it for money even $5 is more than what it's worth.True, not everyone needs or wants a Hasselblad. I think you can buy a new Holga for around $35.00

I was kidding about $35 being over priced. I think that’s about right. I paid more for mine but what’s new there?I've taken some of my best pictures with a Holga.
Well, I know it is trolling, but never mind.
I don't like Holga so much (I have one, of course), original Diana F is much better IMO, or F+, even the plastic is more fragile, but the Diana lens is giving more dreamy and characteristic quality that is asked in that type of the cameras.
Hasselblad...no thanks - Rolleiflex any day for me.
I am sure you have and probably better than any of mine but using the Holga gives me no pleasure which I seek.I've taken some of my best pictures with a Holga.
your bases are belong to us!
How have I decided an answer or anything by asking a question? Gee, this COVID thing does a lot more damage than meets the media.
if someone asked me that ( and sometimes they do ). I usually answer, " oh yea, says you ... "If I ask someone, "Why are you so stupid?" there's a big possibility that they will feel I am implying something about them.
Hasselblad was the first camera system. One which until the end of production was fully upward and downward compatible. Bronica was quick to follow, then later Nikon started its system with the Nikon F.
...remember, the reflex mirror in a TLR doesn't move. The wide-angle lenses could have been designed to sit very close to it, but instead 'spare space' has been allowed for the baffle. As you say, a 38mm Biogon wouldn't work, but if they camera was designed slightly differently then maybe a 45mm wide-angle would have been possible. Or the existing 55/65mm lenses could have been less compromised optically by being designed for a shorter back-focus.

The Exakta was probably the first camera system, long before the Hasselblad.

I've always wondered why it's people who live on islands who drive on the wrong side. Ireland, Australia, Great Britain, US Virgin Islands, even when I served in Japan and owned my first car. Of course, it was an American car so the steering wheel was on the left. I used to ask my passenger to check if anyone was coming on the right when I pulled out to pass the guy in front of me.I hold the camera the same way.
I never had a problem driving in the UK, Ireland, or Australia, but when I got home I had to keep checking myself so I would not be on the wrong side.
I prefer the Diana over the Holga, too. I do have about 10 of each, though, and both can make exceptional photographs within their limitations.
I think people who dismiss them are probably not very imaginative image makers.
Just my two cents...
I think the Hasselblad 500(and up) series have very little competition in the 6x6 field. The first Bronicas make a huge noise and have had a story of problems keeping the focusing screen in the proper place and the two-mirror system is complex to repair. Then there's the Bronica SQ system but it's an electronic camera, so slightly different. The Rolleiflex SL66 system has a focal plane shutter.
