I went through 3 imported Durgod keyboards in a short time (a few years)
for an approximate total cost of about $400cad (last prices around 150).
Just ordered a US made IBM clacker 'rebirth' for $200cad. Do the math
(my last clacker lasted so long that it's the only keyboard I remember
from the 90's).

Yup. Because US made will always be solid and durable. China is all
about disposable. Even their own people prefer cheap disposable
products. But here in the US, we'd prefer something that will last a
long time. And we're willing to pay extra for it to last a long time.
Because we know that the short term costs will always be more in the
long term (disposable manufactured items) but the expensive short term
will always lead to cheaper long term (durable manufactured items).

I'd be willing to pay more for a keyboard that had the function keys
on the left, where God intended.

There was one brand of keyboard, North-something-or-other, that had
both. I'd be willing to pay double for one of those.
