In theory.
But nobody is going to pay a lot of money for something when they could buy something cheaper that is just as good, unless it has some form or function that makes it worth the extra cost.
In real life people buy things for aestheic purposes (form) (eg. expensive clothes, sports cars), but that doesn't fit well into graal because in graal you don't need to worry about attracting a mate and reproducing, etc. (which is the function these things provide) so form doesn't matter as much on graal, which only leaves function.

The light sabre probably doesn't need to be as strong as it is, but I bet if you made a gun that completely sucked nobody would use it no matter how rare it was.
