Hard to compare what "crazy" expensive is but I bought a pair of these for $90 https://amazon.com/dp/B01MRV4WA1. For the 3 places in my house I wanted to wire with Ethernet, I was done under $300. Patching drywall, paint touch-ups, new cables, and the overall time and headache would have cost a lot more. I was done in a matter of minutes using old coax and these adapters.
In my case, I didn't build a MoCA network, just used these devices point-to-point. If you go full MoCA, think of it like a distributed hub - no switching, no routing, no security. In fact you should put filters to prevent neighbors from listening in using their own MoCA adapters. For me, point-to-point worked. YMMV but Ethernet over Coax is definitely worth looking into for upto 1gbps speed, which is plenty for wifi, netflix etc.
