How do you do per-key RGB lighting on a Shift V2?
I saw the online configurator that lets you do this on the Shift V1, where it spits out a compiled firmware file to flash. The V2 doesn't seem to have this function in the Windows configurator, though. I can't imagine the answer here is "you're going to have to manually write the hex for every key in QMK, compile it, and flash that".

Bottled water, popcorn, soda, printer ink, keyboard keys. In that order.
OK, so, this isn't a run of the mill we'll-produce-thousands-over-the-years set. There's your first price uptick; unlike that 20$ Vortex set, these aren't a long-run stock item. GMK does not produce these on a daily basis, this is a one-time limited run that will be taking time away from their usual products to make. Custom runs cost more, period.
Speaking of custom, these aren't using a stock color GMK always has on hand; the color is custom, which is a first for a group buy from GMK as far as I know. That also takes time. Original keycaps were used for matching. Even the colour of these isn't off the shelf.
Nor are they the thin ABS trash you get free with your standard keyboard. This is not the garbage you got on your Monoprice or your Razer. GMK stuff is thick, it is doubleshot, it is just plain good keys. GMK is considered better than even most of the PBT sets out there. These are high-quality keys that will last for years, just like the original sets that are still around 25+ years later.
Furthermore, that 99.99$ lowest price point? That's pretty much the best price you'll ever find on a custom GMK set.
Nobody is getting taken advantage of. This is a fantastic keyset that people have worked very hard for months to bring to life and it is absolutely worth the cost.
