Most likely this price is because M2 iMacs are imminent.
Please, if you will, humor us all and put together a package for $1,000 that meets or beats this unit's 8 core CPU / GPU Passmark scores, SSD read/write speeds, 4.5k 100% P3 color space monitor at 218 ppi and 500 nits, WiFi speed of 760 MBit/s, two (2) Thunderbolt 3's at 40Gbps, two (2) USB 3.1 Gen 2's at 10Gbps, a 1080P webcam and microphones of this quality, and a six (6) speaker sound system that is equally as superb.
Also, don't forget the cost of a keyboard with fingerprint login and a mouse capable of multi touch input.
We will all be waiting for the cost of the i7 system or better it will take to beat this iMac at $1,000. You can try, but if you can't put the system together right here right now, well, then you simply live in a world where measurable objective criteria are meaningless.
Waiting endlessly for a link to something even marginally better in all of these metrics at $1,000 or less.
Oh, and don't worry, there will be no requirement that it be less than 10lbs or 1/2 inch thick like the iMac.
Good luck!

M1: yes
8g: no
256g: no
Retina: yes
24": no
Wouldn't MacBook Air a better alternative if 8g/256g is sufficient?

Price: yes
M1: yes
8g: no = I don't really understand how the M1 works, or, I work for a major media conglomerate and I'm churning out 8k video files all day.
256g: no = I'm a media hoarder cause the world will end soon, I live in a remote area (thus my "windandwolf" moniker), or I don't really understand the speed or practicality of having a portable external thunderbolt 4 drive at 40Gbps throughput from my iMac.
Retina: yes
24": no = because a laptop is never practical or productive by itself due to the limited screen size.
Wouldn't MacBook Air a better alternative if 8g/256g is sufficient? = I wasn't paying attention to the fact that this iMac is an 8 core GPU, that this iMac doesn't throttle down (like the Air) under thermal load due to two silent cooling fans, that the Air SSD crawls compared to the iMac SSD, that the iMac comes with a Magic Mouse, a six (6) speaker sound system, gigabit Ethernet port, etc., etc, etc.
