I'm not sure how $199 is 4X the price of the $99 Fire TV?
However, that said, the Shield does also come with a $59 controller which the Fire TV doesn't have. Which I guess with that math would only make it 3X the price. Plus, the Shield is a much more of a powerful device.
I'm in UK and assumed it would be $200 = £200 and fire TV has been around 50 quid recently, which is where my maths came from.
Still don't think it's comparable for a kodi only box, it would be a waste for the shield.
This is the way of the tech world. Moore's Law and all that.
