You guys are missing the point.
It isn't something intended to actually be used. It is a collectors item - hand painted, numbered, only 25 made.
The point isn't to save time or watts. It is to impress the guests who helicopter to to the party at your summer home in the Hamptons. It goes next to the $200 Campagnolo cork screw and your autographed copy of "Its not about the bike."
Besides, you can't have one. All 25 are sold out.

I see Romain Bardet, Patrick Lange and Mario Mola will be racing on 7-speed cassettes (freewheels?) this coming season. 13-19. This must be in conjunction with Shimano's "A Look at the Past" retro group. 
(That was the freewheel I raced in the '70. I loved it but thought we had moved on. Guess not.
"3D-printed Titanium hollow oversized pulley wheels, available only for Shimano 9100 groupsets (13/19-tooth combination)." From the CeramicSpeed website.

For anyone interested in dabbling in marginal gains, plenty of Taiwanese OSPW knockoffs for around a hundred bucks.

I wouldn’t even insult anyone that has a Ceramicspeed derailleur pulley system.
One of my friends has one on his road bike. He also owns a Cessna Citation X, so I don’t question the way he spends his $ on bike stuff.
if I had his income, I’d have them on several bikes

If I had the money for that crap, I'd get the transmission rebuilt in my car. How somebody can blow money on such ostentatious bullspit is beyond me.

This purse is $88,000.
We can only determine value to ourselves. "Worth" is 100% subjective. To a guy with a Bugatti in the garage-- for which an oil change costs $20,000-- a $1,900 for 3D-printed titanium jockey wheels doesn't seem so absurd.

Yeah, nah - for the price of three sets you can have a frame with 3D-printed lugs and filament-wound tubes... It's absurd, alright.
