The stuff you want is called Jevity. It’s a complete liquid diet that’s used for feeding tube patients (Ebert after cancer being one of the most famous). It can be consumed orally, and you can buy it in bulk from Amazon. It’s been designed by people who are experts in nutrition and has been used for years by patients as a sole food source.
Of course, Jevity only claims to keep you alive and healthy as your only food source, not to trim your fat, sharpen your brain, etc. But I’m fairly sure that has more to do with ethics, a basic knowledge of the subject, and an understanding of the necessity of double blind studies for medical claims than someone finding out the secrets to perfect health who forgot iron and sulfur in their supplement.
If a person is interested in Soylent for sake of saving money, then a similar product that costs more than ordinary food is automatically known not to work.
Hopefully, mass producing Soylent will drive down the price. As of now, it is close, but not cutting it as a total replacement for me. Temporay adoption on the other hand...

Looks like it is 1c/cal. $20/day is not reasonable.
… for a product that’s actually clinically tested and pretty well known to work?

If convenience is the primary driver it is running into “I can eat out every meal every day” at those prices.
