Why does spending the equivalent of a carton of cigarettes on a really

I think you answered your own question using the Cigarette Analogy.

Film caps are film caps are film caps.... The rest is smoke, mirrors
and profit. LOTS of profit. No crime in it, but the fools are not the
producers of these goods.

In any case, you are entitled to do as you see fit. There are those who
purchase expensive Vodka when the entire point of that particular
alcohol delivery system is that it has no taste at all. After a certain
level of quality (no keytones, contaminants, residual oils or
chemicals), the rest is.... well... profit.
