I can see your point in this case, but generally, it's silly to think this way. One of the primary reasons people choose Pentax gear is because of the value equation. These same people would be the same people who look to maximize value on every purchase. Is the Pentax branded case better than a Lowepro or a Crumpler? Is the Pentax branded lenscap better than the Nikon or ebay nobrand? Is an Optech neoprene neck strap cheaper/better than the Pentax? Remote shutter releases, wired or IR?
Sometimes 3rd party items actually are better than the OEM version.
If the value equation is not there, as you say, it doesn't make sense to save. But the reasoning that many of us applied to choose $600-700 systems instead of $1000-1200 systems also applies to accessories.

Black Magic Design has a product line for HDMI capture. I haven't looked at it too closely, but,
Blackmagic Design: Intensity
The Intensity Pro (PCIe card) and Intensity Shuttle (USB 3) are $199, might be worthwhile.
