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?

There's way more reason than fashion. There's durability and comfort tradeoffs in a toilet seat. Not everyone wants to power wash their toilet, but those that do need more durable seats. Others may want a softer material that is more comfortable for use. Prisons want one that can't easily be removed or broken in pieces. Some may want a built in child size seat. Some may want a dedicated handle area. Some might want a heated seat. Some might want soft closing seats.

The same is true of most products, there's no one true solution.
