It is all just marketing designed towards enticing some people to pay more for basically the same thing that others have but with a couple of extra touches that do not come close to the increase in price.

Having built homes at both ends of the spectrum I can tell you that what you are saying is anything but close to the truth. My range was 500K to 750K and someone buying a 750K home had much higher expectations on construction materials and quality.
