This is still pretty new to market, so still at premium.

If I could find 4TB drives for 60$ id be all over those, but that doesn't appear to be current reality.
As far as how long these have been on the market:
I needed a drive to offload action cam footage for an upcoming trip, so I picked one of these up yesterday. It definitely is an older model. It is not USBC, the current model of this on WD's site shows c port but this comes with the USB 3.2 Gen1/USB 3.0 - the cable that comes with it is USB A port on pc side and is the one that looks like micro usb w/ an extra connector next to it on the drive side. I was not overly pleased to find this when opening it up expecting usbc.
Also, I plugged it in and ran some smart tests and got a few things showing pre-fail, everything that isnt pre-fail is showing old age as the status. So at least for me I got a drive that has been sitting on a shelf for some time. Working fine so far will likely run a few tests on it.
Haven't decided yet if I should return it, but figured id give others a heads up.

This is a portable HDD. So it's a 2.5" HDD at a pretty massive 6TB. No other manufacturer has one that size right now. It came out like a year or two ago max.
Before anyone asks, no it cannot be shucked, it has a soldered on USB interface and it's a 15mm tall drive, so it's not likely to fit most enclosures/laptops/etc even if it could be shucked.
