Agreed.

The Corvair was originally designed as an import fighter, e.g., VW, and needed to have a low selling price.

Later it was being accepted as a relatively low cost sporty/performance car, hence the Monza and Corsa models.

Production costs were high as compared to other such cars, e.g., the Falcon derived Mustang due to, among other things, the plethora of sheet metal components needed to shroud the air cooled engine.

Chevrolet's decision to design and build the Camaro spelled the death knell for the Corvair.
