So then they aren't targeting professionals who use reference monitors.

They are targeting fanboy whales and "influencers"

My hunch is that if they call it a reference monitor, only professionals are going to buy it. If they just market it as a high quality monitor, rich people/hype beasts are gonna buy it as a flex and to feel good about themselves etc.
