I don’t mean this in an overly judgmental way, but how much utility is there to open source physical objects for most people if they don’t also include some sort of cost benefit? What’s the utility of an open source t-shirt you can make for $30 when a 5 pack of shirts from Walmart is $10? I like the idea in concept, but how does a normal person implement open source physical good production?

Yep, you'll typically have to sacrifice a couple components to destructive test though depending on what you're trying to accomplish. GD4 Test Services is one such company I've worked with before.
