It's big, fat, made of solid bronze or brass, and is a boutique item.
There's no point in asking why.

That's a big item you linked to. They're also called appliance pulls
when they get that big. They're also more of a commercial item when
they have such a large diameter. If you're locked in to that exact
style, you have a bit of searching to do, or you'll have to pony up
the money, and that's what they're counting on. Here's something a
bit different, different size and cheaper.

When I'm doing such searches I usually type in what I want, do the
Google, then select the Images tab and search visually. That will
locate a vendor who will have alternatives and similar items.

Its mostly aimed at the McMansion, fluffed up truck as a fashion
statement "car" bragging rights crowd. You know the I have a 186" TV or
"these are custom door pulls made just for me and they cost $7,000" etc

Not sure of your location, but around Portland (OR) there are several
recycling and rebuilding centers. Door hardware there is cheap if you can
find what you're looking for.
