"Pricing of the OSS 5 Slot Gen 4 Backplane is unknown, but typically such devices are rather expensive." And yet it looks like a prototype or proof-of-concept design, very strange.. Or perhaps it is, since that might not be the final commercial version.

Pretty sure it's because OCuLink 2 only goes to PCIe 3.0 x8. That's 1/4 the bandwidth on the upstream connector alone.
