Its a market economy - I'm not at all sure why so many people get worked up about this - it's an individual's choice.
Personally, I'm an engineer, so I look a numbers as well as listen - if I hear a difference, I like to know why that is. But my ears are mine and mine alone; what I like or dislike will be very different to even my siblings, my children or indeed, anyone else. My decision rationale is, by definition, mine.
Many folk simply don't care - if it sounds good enough, they're happy...
...and for others, it's almost a lifestyle decision - the hardware is architectural - part of the design of their environment - the cost is secondary.
Who cares? If a dealer or designer can get someone to pay a lot of money for something that an engineer could match acoustically for a fraction of the sum, good luck to them. We can laugh about it, but at the end of the day, it matters not one jot.
