I've never worked in a company that would blow $1k on a stand. Assuming it is VESA mount they'll just buy a cheaper alternative. If it isn't I'm sure some Chinese companies will oblige soon enough.
The contrast effect at play. Make the stand $999 to make $200 seem like a reasonable price for the VESA adaptor, when in fact it should be built in to the display like it is on basically ever other pro-level display.
