PS5 Pro is still far cheaper than a PC

Absolutely, and this is why I can't see Sony aiming to sell just a few units of the Pro - they need to make up the cost at that premium. I expect the margins to be similar across all their units, the R&D cost alone won't be worth it unless they sell quite a few Pros. There's also the added strategy of fleecing us on disc-drive's and stands though. Selling one Pro, along with an external drive and a stand, probably has a really good margin. I can't imagine the drive or stand costing much to manufacture.

They absolutely want to make money on it, but I still think not giving Blu-Ray drive for that price is controversial... especially for 800€ in Europe.

"There's also the added strategy of fleecing us on disc-drives and stands though."

I would appear I agree with that statement. Their entire pricing strategy is wonky as hell, like I mentioned in my longer post. The value proposition is very poor.
