What you are calling "affordable", here, is really dubious.
If you are in business to make as much money as possible, would you rather sell 1 widget for $1000 dollars, or 10 widgets for $100 dollars, each? Keep in mind that the latter will cost YOU more than the former, and cut into those big profits that you're seeking.
So, no, the capitalist is not interested in selling more or better widgets at a cheaper price. All he's interested in is getting as much of your money as is possible. And if he can do that without giving you ANYTHING AT ALL, in return, he would much prefer that. Because that is actually the ultimate ideal of the capitalist prime directive: to get ALL OF YOUR MONEY. Once that has been achieved, you become irrelevant to the capitalist system. Which is why everything costs as much as the capitalists can get away with charging for them, regardless of their actual value. And is why everyone who is not a capital investors, stays one paycheck away from being broke.
It's a terrible system based entirely on the power it gives to greed, at the expense of everything and everyone else.
