Because they're a specialty product sold to businesses not mass produced products sold to budget-minded consumers.
I also doubt they're technologically superior as they're just designed to display a static McDonalds menu for 18 hours a day, not play Dune in HDR at a massive bitrate. I'm no fan of tracking or similar corporate bullshit surrounding advertising but you're making a lot of (almost entirely) assumptions here about these signage displays. You'll likely be paying more than 2x the price of a comparable model considering these are likely equivalent to Black Friday TVs.
The prices are not bad on signage TVs and they sure as hell are not similar to Black Friday TVs. Black Friday TVs are known to have garbage parts. Companies are not going to put up with TVs that die quickly.
