Why are faucets so expensive? (lemm.ee)

Seems like established technology with common metals fabricating a simple mechanism. What differentiates a relatively inexpensive, contractor-grade faucet from one that costs anywhere from double to 10x the price?

If I ever have to buy a faucet, I'll probably just 3D print one with a hole in it for a tube. Just use a tube and a 3D printed faucet. Easy.

Ya nothing like some cheap shitty plastic that quickly breaks down to get a job done.

And it will still be way more expensive than an off-the-shelf faucet. That being said, you can make it look like an Eevee this way.
