If we try to exclude the super simple and cheap games by only looking at games priced at more than $5, the median is closer to $4000

just because a game is more than $5, doesn't mean it's not super simple, cheap shovelware.

Nobody is claiming that, the claim is merely that a lot of the games under $5 are shovelware. I'm sure you could take it a step further and try to remove shovelware, but that's gets really subjective really fast.
