1) Some of them, yes. But also marketing.
3) is marketing and access to capital that Prusa don't have. 4) Prusa is of similar quality in my experience, or both machines have their problems for different reasons. I would need to run a scientific experiment.
There is no argument in which Bambu succeed solely on technical merit alone. Bambu can outspend Prusa due to access to venture capital funding and state support. That is a structural advantage that cannot be easily overcome.
Plus they have a massive labor cost advantage and a government heavily interested in pushing their players into all markets for dominance.
3) you could buy ender 3s for $99 at a Microcenter long before Bambu Labs was around.
