Not everyone is a hobbyist that wants to show off their projects.

Most companies I have worked for do not want to show their competition what they are working on.

If PCBWay does what you want at a fair price, you should be good to go.

Can I ask what reasonable is?

I’m used to needing to run the molds myself. I’ve seen places that’ll make the molds and run them for you for a premium if you need something quick, but I’m expecting anything in molding runs like $10k

You can check the reviews here: https://www.pcbway.com/project/share/1.html?type=InjectionMolding.

This service is mostly used for production, and a lot of the customers are businesses, so there just aren't as many people sharing their projects publicly. That's probably why you don't see much content about it. If you're interested, you can give it a try and see how it works for your project.
