It is crazy; crazy good. I know you don't understand, but a significant amount of work and a steep learning curve goes into designing a PCB of any size, Part libraries and placement of components for convenient mounting. All of that takes many many hours and half the time your libraries are used only once! Even seasoned designers have trouble getting "slots" to come out right from a fab house. Here's the kicker though, a 1" square from OSHpark costs $5. Not only did he design a board, spend $5 on the board and spend the time to hand place what looks to be 0603 resistors, but he is doing that for the difference after cost for parts. Get it? His profit margin is hardly over 30%.
