I think that you don't pay this extra for PostScript itself, but mostly
for a higher quality (weight...) product, which then fortunately
includes support for a "reasonable" (debuggable, lol) file format.

I have a vague recollection, that there are printers and imagesetters,
that are able to render PDF directly (never was involved in such a
workflow myself) - but this is probably only true for equipment which
does PostScript, of which PDF is a direct successor.
