Default Please Explain "FAKE" Professional Ranges

In another post a writer said they were getting a 30' Heartland
cooktop. It has four burners with a max output of only 15,500 BTU.
And it looks like real professional model. It costs an amazing $1550.

I fully understand why someone would want a professional range with
BTU output of 30 - 50,000 BTU. I fact, I am getting a separate wok
burner with 30,000BTU output for the same price.

But every appliance store I go into has these fake/pseudo professional
ranges with no more BTU power than "home-looking ranges at 3 to 10
times the cost of a regular stove range. The highest BTU burner I
could find on any of these fakes was 17,500. You can get that on
"regular range" models.

Are these folks just looking for the thrill of adding something "cool"
(it's sure not "hot") to their McMansions?

What am I missing?
