It’s not true bypass, it nothing to do with the ‘price range’ some of EHX’s cheapest pedals are true bypass. (it’s not expensive to do!) I presume it’s to do with the way it’s designed, so that there is no sound difference to the bypassed signal and the ‘dry’ signal when the pedal is engaged, some pedals work better not being true bypass, I believe the micropog is one of them.
