sorry,  but this is just one of the language things that bug me.

why do people say "price point" when they mean "price"?

Is it because prices are somehow vulgar, and you can diminish the
vulgarity by making it not a "price" but a "price point"?

"price point" has a very specific meaning in economics, and it's not
synonym for "price".
